What type of accommodation can I expect?

Botswana is home to some of the most luxurious lodges in Africa. In Botswana guests will be able to find accommodation to suit all needs and budgets, from simple bungalows and tented camps, to world class hotels and luxurious lodges.

Is Botswana Family Friendly?

The majority of the safari companies in Botswana have age limits for children. This is for safety reasons as the terrain can be rough. Children under the age of five are unlikely to be allowed on game drives in the parks and reserves, and older children and teens might have to be accompanied by an adult and a private vehicle would have to part of the package.

Some Botswana safari companies do have specialized family programmes, allowing the whole family to come and experience the wonders of the bush. Some lodges might also have babysitting services, so parents can go on game drives while their children are well taken care of back at the lodge. Please be aware that some lodges do not accommodate children under the age of 12 years.

Is Botswana a good honeymoon destination?

Botswana has many spectacular wilderness areas which offer memorable and romantic wedding and honeymoon locations.

Is Botswana a Special Needs and Wheelchair friendly destination?

Some lodges and hotels are wheelchair friendly, and there are organized tours that specially cater from people with disabilities. Please inquire by your tour operator or the accommodation you intend staying at before departing to Botswana.
