We’ll head back to camp for a tasty lunch and siesta. Chill in the camp or opt for a Mokoro boat trip along the gorgeous waterways of the delta.

(Teilweise) mit netter Gruppe oder lieber ganz alleine reisen?

Durch die Buchung einer organisierten Botswana | Namibia Reise für junge Leute oder sonstigen Afrika Reise für junge Leute kannst du dir nicht nur Planungsaufwand, sondern oft auch Kosten ersparen, da die Reiseveranstalter Unterkünfte, Transportmittel, etc. in größeren Kontingenten vorab einkaufen und dadurch Sonderkonditionen aushandeln können. Du profitierst dabei außerdem von der Erfahrung des Reiseveranstalters, ggf. fach- und ortskundigen Reiseleitern (von deren Erzählungen du dich gemütlich berieseln lassen kannst…) und hast bei Reisen in der Gruppe die einfache Möglichkeit, nette Mitreisende kennenzulernen. Wer schon öfters gereist ist, wird wissen, dass Reisegefährten oder sonstige Reisebekanntschaften einer der wesentlichsten Faktoren für unvergessliche Erlebnisse sind. Außerdem hat man meist auch bei organisierten Reisen genug individuellen Freiraum und man kann, sofern die An- und Abreise nicht inkludiert ist, den Aufenthalt individuell verlängern und vor oder nach der Gruppenreise mit jungen Leuten zusätzlich noch alleine reisen. Wenn du deine Reise dennoch lieber komplett selber organisieren und auf eigene Faust reisen möchtest, dann findest du auf unserer Individualreiseseite alle nötigen praktischen Tools, mit denen du schnell & günstig planen und buchen kannst:
