7 Day Botswana’s Migration Adventure

Children are welcome on overland tours in Africa, however some tours do have restrictions due to the activities and destinations that the tour offers. Some tour operators have more restrictive age limits, this is for those people who would prefer not to have children on their tour. Other tour operators are more flexible and will happily accept children on a case by case basis. Please ask us about the best options for a tour with your children or family, and we will make the best suggestions for you based on your preferences. Privately arranged charter tours’ age limits will be assessed based on the route and type of tour you choose. Please bear in mind that the Gorilla Trekking tours have a minimum age limit of 16 years.

Expect impromptu village stops, visits to traditional markets, and encounters with artisans (weavers, silk-scarf makers). In Anja, local community reserves protect lemurs while creating livelihoods—meaningful, grassroots conservation in action.

Stick to bottled water. Mint tea and fresh orange juice are safer (and delicious!) alternatives.

Begin your packing list with essential documents: your valid passport, necessary visas, and comprehensive travel insurance. For your Botswana tour specifically, consider bringing lightweight clothing suitable for fluctuating temperatures, comfortable walking/hiking shoes, flip-flops, insect repellent, sunscreen, a headlamp, and a sleeping bag if camping. Other useful items include a reusable water bottle, personal medications, a quick-dry towel, and a retractable washing line. Given the soft-sided luggage requirement and the emphasis on packing light for overland vehicles, it's wise to consult your travel specialist for tour-specific recommendations, ensuring you bring only essential items.
