After a morning activity (time permitting) and breakfast, you will be transferred by light aircraft to Maun Airport to connect to your onward travel arrangements.
Botswana Family Safari
This carefully curated family safari invites you to explore the best of Botswana and Victoria Falls, combining thrilling wildlife encounters, unforgettable landscapes, and enriching cultural experiences across four distinct regions.
Your journey begins at the mighty Victoria Falls, where the sheer power and beauty of the “Smoke that Thunders” set the tone for the adventure ahead. From here, you’ll travel to the Chobe Riverfront, renowned for its extraordinary elephant herds and dramatic riverside game viewing. Game drives and boat safaris here provide front-row seats to scenes of Africa’s most iconic animals in their natural rhythm.
Next, you’ll venture into the Khwai Community Area, nestled on the fringes of the Okavango Delta. This wildlife-rich region offers incredible flexibility with off-road game drives, night safaris, and guided bush walks—allowing your family to experience the bush from every angle. The intimate setting and high predator activity make Khwai a favourite for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
Your final stop takes you to the Deception Valley Private Reserve, on the edge of the Central Kalahari. Here, the stark beauty of the desert contrasts with the lush delta, and you’ll have a chance to encounter desert-adapted species and learn about the ancient traditions of the San Bushmen.
With expert guides, diverse ecosystems, and handpicked lodges offering comfort and authenticity, this safari offers an unforgettable African experience for the whole family.

Day 3: Chobe
After breakfast, you will be collected from your lodging and  transferred to your next destination in Chobe for 2 nights.Â
The Chobe River Front is a remarkable wildlife area due to the permanent water source of the Chobe River. The spectacle of all the animals coming to drink and frolic at the water’s edge is one to behold, particularly in the dry season (May – Oct) where water is scarce away from the river. It is an area famous for its abundance of elephants, a variety of predators and, in addition, you are likely to see herds of buffalo and possibly even roan and sable antelope.
Settle into your accommodation and enjoy activities from the lodge.

Day 5: Khwai Community Area / Okavango Delta
Following the morning activity (time permitting) and breakfast, you will be transferred for a charter flight to your next destination.
Lying on the eastern fringes of the Okavango Delta with a rich wildlife population and no borders drawn around it on the map, Khwai is often overlooked in favour of its more famous neighbours, though in the winter months it can hold its own for the quality of big game viewing. During your time here, you’ll spend most days exploring the narrow Khwai River, which forms the natural boundary to the Moremi Game Reserve on the south. The Khwai River is a beacon for wildlife and plays host to leopards stalking lechwe in the long grass, lions swimming from the banks to save their cubs’ during territorial disputes and crocodiles competing with wild dogs for a midday meal of impala. As Khwai lies outside the parks, it offers the freedom and flexibility normally only possible with the heavier price tag of a private concession. Go off-road for a closer look at sightings, night drive in search of nocturnal species, and, with a little advance planning, head out on game walks to track wildlife on foot.

Day 7: Deception Valley Private Reserve
Following breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your charter flight to Deception Valley Private Reserve. This Reserve provides a soft introduction to the harsh expanses of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve next door and is also one of the best places in Botswana to get a glimpse into the hunter-gatherer lifestyle of the San people, who have survived in the arid desert for tens of thousands of years.
This private reserve contains desert-adapted wildlife from giraffes to ostriches, gemsbok and springbok. Ease of access, together with high chances of finding black-maned Kalahari lions during the winter months are key draw cards for heading out on safari here.
Dinner and overnight at Dune Camp on Full Board+ Basis.
Day 8: Deception Valley Private Reserve
A full day at The Dune Camp to explore the 43,000 hectares Deception Valley Private Reserve with day & night drives and nature walk with San Bushmen.
