Countries Visited: Botswana, Zambia
Essential Information
Trip Profile
Flights via Jo'burg with South African Airways: Air Botswana to Maun. Transport 4WD vehicle and mokoro.
Accommodation
11 nights full-service camping (camp beds provided). The local staff will erect all tents and prepare all meals where applicable. 6 nights camping in public sites with good facilities, all with pools, restaurants and good ablution facilities.
The other 5 nights will be wild camping - this is a great opportunity to really experience the African wilderness! In the Okavango Delta we travel by mokoro and camp on the river banks in the shade of indigenous trees.
Swimming
We will have pool access in Maun, Kasane and Livingstone.
Food
All breakfasts, 9 lunches and 7 dinners included.
Reality Check
Botswana can get hot and dusty and there are some fairly long driving days whilst game viewing.
Please note that Botswana is a malaria area. Children must share a tent with an adult and are not to be left alone at night in the game reserves and wilderness areas. For most of the tour we will be staying in well-equipped campsites.
However, for 5 nights (in Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve & Savuti Marsh area) we will be wild camping at an allocated site. The sites are chosen by the wildlife department and are normally in well shaded areas that are not accessible to the general public.
Whilst wild camping there will be a basic toilet and shower tents provided. The wild camping will certainly add to the overall bush experience and should be an exciting part of the trip for the whole family! In Moremi and Savuti game reserve we may also use the public campsites depending on our allocations.
Normal group size and age
Normally 6 to.12, plus leader and camp assistant Minimum age 9.
Icons explained
Going on a Family Group trip is a fantastic way to meet new friends and create lasting friendships – for parents and children alike! These holidays combine exploration with sociability and fun, as other families will join you. Minimum ages vary across the trip range, but is usually from 5 years old.
Our Family Group holidays usually cater for children from 5 years old. However, experience tells us that children tend to prefer mixing with their own age groups, especially teenagers. That’s why we’ve designated certain departures on our group trips as particularly recommended for teenagers. Whilst we don't restrict younger kids from joining these holidays, the 'recommended for teenagers' departures means there are likely to be other teenagers to share the experience with.
Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.
Wilderness: Visit the deserts, jungles, plateaux, tundra and mountains of all seven continents, including Antarctica.
All Exodus trips are active but some may have different activities scheduled every day. Activities we offer include kayaking in Slovakia, trekking in the Drakensberg, cycling in the Tuscan countryside or canoeing along the Zambezi River.
