What Type Of Transportation Is Used?
Typical transportation in Botswana is open air 4×4 vehicles that are designed to give travellers all round visibility. There are some exceptions to this in order to accommodate certain environmental conditions such as excessive dust and/or hear, or in temperate climates where they may use closed vehicles with viewing hatches.
What Is The Climate Like?
The weather in southern Africa is generally pleasant through the year- warm to hot days, and cool to warm nights. Summer is from November to the end of May and usually brings very high temperatures. This is also the rainy season. Winter days, May to the end of August, are invariable sunny and cool to warm, however nights can drop below freezing at night, we recommend packing a winter coat, hat and gloves during this time.
Are These Trips Suitable For Children?
Safari options are definitely suitable for children as young as 6 (12 on set departures). Please note that this depends on the child and is the responsibility of the parents to determine whether this type of program is suitable for their child. There are long drives on Safari (sometimes lasting 6-8 hours) and the roads can be very rough. Some accommodations will not accept young children, so speak to your trip planner to find appropriate programs.
Are These Trips A Good Choice For Solo Travellers?
Yes. A solo traveller is welcome to join any set departure date for the safaris. Please note that safaris are only confirmed with a minimum of 2 travellers. Should the minimum not be met, the scheduled trip will be converted into a private departure and may incur additional costs.
