Young Explorers
Not all classrooms have walls
The Young Explorers Botswana programme is a specially designed safari giving families the opportunity to discover the wonders of the Okavango Delta's wilderness, as well as in-depth education on how to live in the bush.
This programme is fantastic and has both a luxury and rustic version. Truth be told, the children don't notice the difference as they are so absorbed in the activities.
The Young Explorers safari is a specially designed safari which offers families the opportunity to discover the wonders of the African wilderness.
Each family has the use of the Footsteps Camp; a private six-bedded camp equipped with a professional guide, personal chef, waiter, housekeeper and dedicated guides. The camp accommodates guests in three specially designed, twin-bedded, Meru tents complete with sewn-in floors. One of the three tents has an additional bedroom converting it into a family tent that sleeps five. Each tent has its own newly refurbished en-suit bathroom including wash basin, porcelain flush toilet and bush shower, and even a daily laundry service.
Parents can enjoy some peace and quiet whilst expertly trained guides entertain their children.
Activities are designed to be both educational and inspiring, and the time spent at the Young Explorers camp is sure to leave a lasting impression and fond memories in the minds of all the family. The Young Explorers’ emphasis is on learning how to track game – both on foot and in 4×4 safari vehicles. The children learn how to; recognise different animal species; identify birds; poling a mokoro; fishing; and air rifle practice. On completion of the safari children receive a Young Explorers certificate, t-shirt and cap.
