7-Days Ultimate Botswana Family Adventure Safari

Welcome to Botswana! Upon arrival at Maun Airport, you'll be greeted by your Wilderness Tours guide and transferred to your comfortable tented camp on the edge of the Okavango Delta. After settling in and enjoying a refreshing welcome drink, join your guide for an afternoon orientation walk to familiarize yourselves with the camp and surrounding landscape. As the sun sets over the delta, gather around the campfire for dinner and an introduction to the week's adventures ahead.

Start your day with an early morning game drive through the Okavango's diverse habitats, searching for lions, elephants, and buffalo against the backdrop of pristine wilderness. After a hearty brunch, experience the magic of a traditional mokoro canoe safari, gliding silently through papyrus channels and exploring the delta's intricate waterways. This unique perspective brings you closer to hippos, crocodiles, and numerous water birds. Return to camp for an afternoon rest before an evening game drive explores different areas of the delta.

Today you venture into the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, known for its exceptional wildlife concentrations and stunning scenery. Conduct full-day game drives with picnic lunches in the field, exploring different ecological zones from woodland savanna to floodplains. Your guide will help spot the incredible diversity of wildlife that makes Moremi one of Africa's premier safari destinations. Look out for predators on the hunt, herds of buffalo and antelope, and the birdlife that makes this reserve a paradise for ornithologists.

Spend another spectacular day in Moremi Game Reserve, exploring different areas and habitats you may have missed. Your guide will adapt the route based on recent wildlife sightings and family interests, maximizing your chances of encountering Africa's most iconic species. Afternoon activities might include guided walks to track wildlife on foot, offering a different perspective on the bush. As evening approaches, settle back at camp to reflect on the day's adventures and share stories around the fire.

After several action-packed days, return to your original camp in the Okavango Delta for a more relaxed pace. Enjoy leisurely morning and afternoon activities of your choice—perhaps a gentle mokoro safari, bird watching from the camp, or simply resting by the water. This flexible day allows families to recover while still experiencing the delta's magic. Your guide remains available for informal discussions about wildlife and conservation, and the camp team can arrange special activities tailored to your family's interests.

Make the most of your penultimate day with a final comprehensive game drive, targeting any wildlife you may have missed earlier in the week. Your guide will share final insights into animal behavior, ecology, and Botswana's conservation efforts. This is an excellent opportunity for last-minute photography and wildlife observations. Return to camp for lunch and spend the afternoon packing and preparing for departure while enjoying the peaceful ambiance of the delta one last time.

Enjoy a final sunrise over the Okavango Delta before transferring back to Maun Airport for your onward journey. Your guide will escort you to the airport, allowing time for last-minute reflections on your incredible week. Depart knowing you've experienced Africa's most pristine wilderness and created memories that will last a lifetime.
