Botswana is malarial, but there are very safe malaria tablets for children and when traveling in the dry season, mosquitoes are few and far between. The wilderness of Botswana always enchants children and opens their eyes to a different world that one can only dream of in reality. The guides in Botswana are wonderful with children of all ages and really know how to keep them entertained.
