What's this trip about?

    The Young Explorers Programme in Botswana blends fun with becoming Conservation Ambassadors. Our guides and staff are each trained by Botswana Government approved trainers in a one-week children awareness programme tailored to Great Plains Conservation’s conservation principles. Communicating conservation principles to children is critical of course they are our hope for the future of Africa’s wildlife and wilderness. Botswana is an ideal family safari destination as the private concessions and low guest numbers allow us extreme flexibility to exploring by foot, canoe and vehicle, day and night. On arrival each child will receive a Great Plains Young Explorers pack full of all that is needed for them to become a Conservation Ambassador. The pack includes an activity book, traditional game boards, buff, torch and compass and a letter from a Motswana pen pal! The activity book is full of interesting information and games including animal tracks, seTswana vocabulary, facts on flora, fauna and stars, word games and a safari journal. On completion of the activity book children will be ready to complete the Conservation Ambassadors quiz in order to receive a certificate confirming their Conservation Ambassador status.
