Family Holidays
Africa is a fantastic destination for families. Take the kids and head off for an adventure in the bush - animals in the wild enthuse and engage children of all ages. Combine a safari with a fabulous tropical beach for a perfect family holiday. Latin America has some great options for the kids too, like family-friendly Costa Rica and Peru for older children. We've highlighted holidays that are particularly family-friendly, but we have many itineraries that include lodges and beach hotels that make children especially welcome, so do ask us for first hand advice on the very best family options.
