I’m in the very early stages of planning an African safari for the family. Son will be about 9-10 at time of visit, wife and myself. Currently thinking Namibia or South Africa. Interested in getting suggestions for other countries and potential safari companies. Probably wouldn’t hunt unless i can find a company that could finagle it for myself as part of the trip. Would probably be looking at 2-3 weeks total. Would love to get some tips, suggestions and advice as well as hear experiences y’all have had.
 
Probably can't go wrong with either. That length of stay could even use different operators etc. it more site seeing.

Personally I'd go Namibia. Alot of larger concessions and varying landscapes. With 2-3 weeks you could see vastly different terrains
 
I haven't been to Namibia so I can't compare it to So Africa. I've been to So Africa 6 times, 3 times with the same outfitter. There are some outfitters with large ranches with varying landscapes that I've been on in the Eastern Cape and in Limpopo. The Eastern Cape has some great varied terrain and landscape. If you do go to So Africa, I would recommend a few days touring around Cape Town and a week or more hunting the Eastern Cape.

I've done hunting and non-hunting safaris in Southern Africa. I hunted in SA, and did non-hunting in Namibia/Botswana. One week hunting and two weeks not hunting. It was great.

Not sure I need to go back to SA unless I'm doing a super quick trip (one week). I'd def like to hunt in Nam/Bots
