Botswana is indeed great for a blissful family holiday, simply because this destination has something in store for almost everyone. Kids can enjoy the entertainment parks while the adults can enjoy the beauty of the river valleys and grasslands.
One of the main highlights in Botswana is its Okavango Delta. Viewing this delta from above on a helicopter will be one of the finest things you can try out during your family getaway. Helicopter Horizons is the only authorized company to serve you helicopter rides in the region.
Did you know that Botswana is home to one of the biggest salt flats in the world? During your family vacation, you get the chance to explore this with your kids. Thousands of years ago, Botswana was home to Lake Makgadikgadi (which has now been all dried up) and the salt pan you see today is the only remaining of it.
Your family vacation is going to be fun and peaceful only if you pick the right venue of accommodation for you. Things to do in Gaborone are aplenty, so if you are taking your kids too, make sure the hotel you choose has things to keep them entertained. Hotels such as Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino offer some of the best family getaway packages in Botswana and you may try out one of these for your upcoming one.
Botswana has been missing an environmental education center for quite a long time, and CARACAL identified this urgent requirement and fulfilled the same. It's the first-ever biodiversity and environmental education center in the country and is now open to the general public. Kids will love exploring it, especially because they get the chance to feed and interact with the injured animals and birds here.
When in Botswana, you may get yourselves closer to Nature in several ways. If you say yes to a boat cruise on the Chobe River, it's another great way to explore the best aspects of wildlife. Elephants, hippos, crocodiles, water birds, and many more creatures will be there to catch your attention during this experience.
Kids will always love BBQs, but in Botswana, they are going to enjoy the same with a unique difference. They call it a 'bush braai' and usually contains a variety of meat, desserts, and coffee. If you opt for an exploration ride at Mokolodi Nature Reserve (12,500 acres), you get to enjoy this special BBQ session arranged by the officials.
Kudu Island in Botswana is for those who love adventures. If your kids love to jump and climb, this is the perfect place to take them. Although they say it's an island, it's not exactly true. It's a dry granite rock island. Kids will love climbing the granite rocks (especially if they've not had this experience before)!
