Chobe Family Safari

Discover Chobe River's Wonders from the Water

At The Kosher Safari, we know that traveling with children requires a different approach, and Chobe National Park, particularly its riverfront, is simply ideal for families. Our signature boat safaris along the Chobe River are a game-changer for younger guests. Unlike potentially bumpy jeep rides, our private safari boats offer a smooth, comfortable experience, perfect for all ages, including toddlers and grandparents.

From the water, animals naturally come to you. You'll witness massive herds of elephants drinking and bathing just meters away, hippos grunting in the shallows, crocodiles basking on the banks, and a myriad of colourful birdlife. The sheer joy on a child's face when they see a baby elephant playfully splashing or a giraffe bending down to drink is a truly special moment. The calm waters also provide excellent photography opportunities for budding young wildlife photographers.

We partner with carefully selected, family-friendly lodges in the Kasane area that offer spacious accommodations and amenities suited for families, ensuring comfort and relaxation after a day of adventure.

Combine Your Safari with the Majesty of Victoria Falls

Many of our families choose to combine their Chobe adventure with a visit to the majestic Victoria Falls, just a short and convenient drive across the border. The 'Smoke that Thunders' offers a different kind of natural wonder that captivates children of all ages.

Kids particularly enjoy the exhilarating mist walk, feeling the spray of the falls, and discovering the vibrant rainbows that arch across the chasm. For an aerial perspective that truly astounds, we can arrange 'Flight of Angels' helicopter tours, offering breathtaking views of the falls and the winding Zambezi River – a thrilling experience that provides a sense of scale and wonder for the entire family.

Health & Safety: Navigating Malaria in Chobe

As a responsible safari operator, we prioritize the health and safety of all our guests, especially our younger travelers. It's important to note that the Chobe region is a malaria zone. We strongly advise consulting with your family physician or a travel health specialist well in advance of your trip to discuss appropriate malaria prophylaxis for everyone in your party, particularly for children.

Beyond medication, we encourage practical precautions: wearing long-sleeved shirts and trousers in the evenings, using insect repellent with DEET, and sleeping under mosquito nets where provided. Our partner lodges are diligent in their mosquito management efforts, but personal vigilance is key to a worry-free family safari.

Kosher Dining for Little Explorers

We understand that keeping children happy and well-fed on safari is paramount, especially when adhering to strict mehadrin standards. Our dedicated mashgiach ensures that every meal prepared by our chefs meets the highest glatt kosher requirements, giving you complete peace of mind.

For our younger guests, we go beyond gourmet adult meals to provide delicious, kid-friendly options that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy. Think comforting pasta dishes, crispy chicken schnitzel, fresh fruit platters, and wholesome sides. We are always happy to discuss and accommodate dietary preferences and allergies, ensuring there's always something nourishing and appealing for every child. Special treats and snacks are also part of The Kosher Safari experience, making meal times something to look forward to.
