Adventure-bound imaginative travellers hoping to get up-close-and-personal with spectacular and rare wildlife have a wealth of options in Africa, according to Kamili Safaris.
Zambia could be a great destination for nature-loving families, the company said, with the Kafunta River and Luangwa Wilderness lodges particular highlights.
More than 50 different species of animal inhabit the region surrounding the Luangwa River, while the lodges offer family-friendly facilities such as child minding, guided walks and extra sleeping space for children.
In addition, Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve give families the chance to learn secrets of the African wilderness from local San Bushmen and head out on horseback safaris.
Furthermore, travellers could take advantage of the family suite in the Muchenje Lodge - also in Botswana - where youngsters can qualify as a junior ranger and expand their knowledge of the continent's wildlife.
Lonely Planet advises people heading to Botswana to visit the Okavango Delta and the Nxai National Park.
