Family Holidays

Stop searching for the ultimate family-friendly holiday destinations for this year's trip - we’ve got you sorted.

We are proud to not only offer unforgettable escorted tours to solo travellers, couples, and friends - but families, too. Our carefully curated itineraries are filled with unique, child-friendly experiences that the little ones (and even teenagers!) will be grinning about long after you return home.

Wake up with a delicious breakfast in the East African bush, followed by a cruise in a 4x4 safari vehicle through the region's most beautiful national parks to spot elephants and lions. Or head to Costa Rica to discover the secrets of chocolate production on a fascinating Rainforest Chocolate Tour and then witness newly hatched leatherback turtles take their first waddles along the beach. You could even carve out an eternally memorable Christmas holiday and take the kids on a magical odyssey to the wintry home of Santa Claus!

Venturing into the world with the kids is an incredible way for them to interact with people from different cultures and countries, to grow closer together, and to help you tick off some of the wonders on your bucket list! The best part is, they get a chance to continue their education well beyond school lessons - international travel is sure to spark their imagination and hunger for real-world learning.
