- Mmargaretruthbarkerhotmailcom· September 5th, 2019A fabulous trip. Pack warm clothes for early morning safaris and be prepared for two or three early get ups - but they are worth it. There are a couple of days, which are mainly spent travelling in a minibus, but you get to see a lot of the countryside and how people live. Always keep your eyes open for wildlife - you never know when it will appear - elephants, in particular, don't like to stay within the confines of Game Reserves! Take binoculars too.Show more

Asked on February 13th, 2025I am looking for a great nature tour to present to my Naturalist Club of Springfield , Ma. We are a group of interested environmentalists, and there are many science teachers at different levels of education. The Family Botswana and Zimbabwe Safari Adventure has exactly what we would like to do. It has several days in Moremi, with the tent camping, and the river with the house boat, and quite an adventurous itinerary. We are a hiking group with many animal and bird lovers. We are still sending out information in our group for interest. We are hoping to get 10-12 people to go. I have looked at the other adventures, and no others have what this one has. We would like to go in May or June or September of 2026. Is there any way that we could have our own trip with this itinerary.? I'd like to present this to the group with our next meeting Feb. 19, 2025. Is this kind of trip a possibility? Please advise.
Explore!Operator•Written February 2025We would be happy to look into a private departure of this itinerary for you. To get started on a provisional price for the group we would require the below information: Preferred Date Option 1, Preferred Date Option 2, Total Number of Travelers, Number of Twin Rooms, Number of Single Rooms, Number of Triple Rooms, How Many Children, Children Ages, If any Pre or Post Tour Accommodation is Needed, Currency to Quote in. Once we have the above details, we are generally able to provide a quote within 10 business days. If the provisional quote is within a range you are happy with, then we would require a 10% deposit to inquire about and secure availability.

Traveler•Written February 2025I will be meeting with my co-member Tom Condon next Wednesday pm to discuss our options. There will be no children, so we will be discussing a school time as that is also cheaper airfare. I'd like to shoot for 12 Travelers as 12 is the maximum. Are there any reduced prices for a full group?

Asked on December 17th, 2024Can I book a Family Tour if I’m not traveling with a child?
- Explore!Operator•Written December 2024
Family Tours are specifically designed for families traveling with children. Unfortunately, these tours are not available for booking if you are not traveling with a child. This ensures the experience remains focused on creating a family-friendly atmosphere and catering to the needs of young travelers and their families.
