Useful Information

Botswana is suitable destination for all ages, however some lodges have a minimum age limit of 12 years and under. They generally do not have an upper limit but it must be remembered that places that are famed for their remoteness and wilderness experience are just that – remote with no medical facilities - it is therefore recommended that only fit, healthy people undertake the rigours of the bush.
