Family Holidays
Holidaying with your children or as an extended family can be one of the most rewarding of lifetime experiences, both in terms of sharing the sense of wonder and adventure of being in a beautiful and fascinating part of the world, as well as for the simple attraction of spending quality time with your loved ones.
Advance organisation is paramount however to ensure that your trip runs smoothly, especially when travelling with very young children, and this is the area where we can greatly assist you.
Whether you are looking for a relaxing half term break on the beaches of East Africa or the Middle East, a longer safari or cultural holiday in Africa, India or South America, or else a special reunion or anniversary celebration in a private camp or villa, then we are here to offer you impartial advice and help you arrange a holiday that you will remember forever.

Young Explorers Family Safari - Botswana
This 8 night trip is specifically designed to offer families the opportunity to discover the wonders of the African wilderness together.
One of the special attractions of the Young Explorers’ safaris are their exclusivity as each family has the sole use of a private camp, allowing the daily schedule to be flexible and to be tailored around the ages and interests of all family members.
The key to running safaris with children is keeping them interested and stimulated, so the nature of activities has been modified to provide shorter activities with more diversity and interaction for the children.
