Private Family Camping Safaris - Guided Camping Safaris in Botswana for 2025.
A Family Adventure Like No Other.
Children thrive in nature. There is nothing like an Botswana camping safari experience to give kids an experience with their family that they will remember forever. We offer amazing safaris tailored for families with kids.
Watching a dung beetle roll its prize home, seeing a newborn impala take its first wobbly steps, and observing a giant Golden Orb spider painstakingly creating its web: these bring nature’s lessons home in a way not possible in any other way.
​
We understand a child’s delight in seeing the animal characters they have met through picture books and films come to life before their eyes, and knows how to make their experience both thrilling, and safe and secure.
​
On a Botswana family safari, we offer specialized family tents that sleeps up to five people, the children on stretcher beds and parents on comfy beds. In this case a separate dome tent will be set up, right next to main family tent, for luggage space or a ‘dressing room’. This also will have an en-suite bathroom, offering larger families shared shower/toilet space and privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we choose where to go on our safari?
-
We can take you to all the best destinations that Botswana has to offer. This country is home to an incredibly diverse environment hosting a wide variety of Africa’s biggest and smallest fauna and flora. Itineraries include budget, comfort or luxury camping in Moremi Game Reserve, Central Kalahari, Makgadikgadi Pans, Nxai Pan, and Chobe National Park. Pre-prepared camps are located in private sites well off the beaten track.
​
Will we need to help put up tents?
-
All camp duties are taken care of by the friendly camp staff, which leaves you very little responsibility, and that is to relax and enjoy!
​
Will I be able to use my phone?
-
Moving in remote wilderness areas, these camping safaris offer a true digital detox experience, trading real-life encounters for screen time. Of course every safari includes access to emergency communication, but we wager you won’t miss the Internet! Electricity in camp is available through an inverter that can be used for charging cameras and phones.
​
What if we would like a night in a lodge?
-
Itineraries can be customized to include both mobile camping and lodge experiences. We are more than happy to give our suggestions for family friendly lodges in Botswana that pair perfectly with a mobile camping adventure.

Lelobu was so incredibly helpful and patient with all my many questions while planning our safari in Botswana. And it was incredible!! All 9 of us, 7 adults & 2 young children, had an amazing time. Everything was just fantastic! We saw so many animals, many up close. The 2 campsites we stayed in were so beautiful , we heard wild animals during the night. Our guide, Master, was the best!! He was so kind, calm & knowledgeable about everything in the bush. The camp staff & cook, MG, were also incredible! We had delicious food served every day & night. I highly recommend Lelobu!!

We are a very-well traveled family of four (I have been to over 60 countries) and this was our first trip to Africa and my dream, milestone birthday, trip, that I have been saving for and dreaming of for literally decades. I spoke to over two dozen travel experts before deciding that Anton and his team at Lelobu were going to be the perfect team to help make my African dreams come true. No detail was too large or too small. Anton and his team were professional, responsive, prompt, and always looking out for my family’s best interests
