Top family adventures: curiosity in action

These are the holidays full of thrilling and memorable experiences from start to finish, where kids are able to immerse themselves in culture, explore fascinating ruins and lively cities, watch wildlife in its natural habitat and seeing the natural world in ways that go far beyond anything they’ll see on a tv documentary. And they’ll experience it all, with you.

A walk on the wild side: Kenya

This is the ultimate family adventure. Together, you’ll explore Kenya’s Maasai Mara, home to scarlet-robed warriors and one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the world. Animals your kids have only seen in books and movies are brought to life here in spectacular fashion. Then hit the white-sand beach at Malindi for watersports and turtle spotting, followed by pizza and ice cream in ‘Little Italy’.

Thrills, spills, splashes and sandy toes: Florida

If your kids have been raised on a diet of Disney animations and superhero films and you ask them their dream holiday destinations, there’s a good chance Orlando will get a mention. We always recommend that if you want to go all out in the parks, you should also set aside some time to break out of the theme park bubble and retreat to the paradise (and child-friendly) shores of Florida’s Gulf of Mexico coast.

Elephants, rock climbs and beach time: Sri Lanka

A combo of wild encounters and enriching moments makes this a memory-making Sri Lanka holiday for teenagers who want to discover life beyond the pages of a textbook. We’ve struck the perfect balance between exploration in Colombo and the Cultural Triangle, elephant and leopard-seeking safaris in national parks and some time on a white sand beach.

A kids’ guide to the Land of Smiles: Thailand

A deep dive into Thailand’s scenery and culture comes courtesy of private guided tours in Chiang Mai, Koh Samui and Bangkok, balanced with a few nights at The Bush Camp – an extraordinary safari camp where you’ll encounter elephants and sleep under canvas. Then, slow things down on Koh Samui with snorkelling among neon fish and noodle slurping in atmospheric markets.

Spray and safaris in Zimbabwe

This trip mixes edge of your seat moments with laid back family time. Marvel at the mighty Victoria Falls – walk the viewpoints, take to the skies in a helicopter or feel the rush of a gorge spanning zip line. Then it’s on to Hwange National Park for an offbeat safari: game spotting by open sided railcar, bush walks with expert guides and wildlife hides that bring you face to face with elephants. Sunset cruises and campfire dinners wrap it all up, Zimbabwe style.
