Description
We started them off in Mashatu which is renowned for its elephant viewing, which is always a hit with kids. The camp we set them in has a fascinating and compelling feature known as the Discovery Room, a favorite amongst adults and children! After Mashatu, we chartered the family up to the Okavango Delta so they could enjoy some water activities near the pretty scenery. Their camp is great for family accommodations as it contains fun amenities such as a big swing over a pool. Their last destination was the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, a gathering of enormous salt pans that make up the northern part of the Kalahari Desert. Here they enjoyed unique culture excursions and wildlife encounters as they were able to meet the San people (bushmen) and the cheeky, habituated meerkats, a continual source of amusement and a regular entertainment at their camp. Without a doubt, this family got to experience three very different parts of Botswana. From the unusual topography and rocky vistas of Mashatu, to the lush landscape filled with palm trees and an inland water system of the Okavango Delta, to the expansive and flat salt pans of the Kalahari Dessert, we made sure this family enjoyed all that there is to Botswana’s green season.
