Adding the word adventure to the concept of a family holiday sounds a danger in itself, but we know that families that share the challenge of exploration and discovery come back having had the best holiday of their lives.

Although we send many of you to both luxurious or quite simple resort hotels where there is much to entertain your older children, we have taken great pleasure in helping an increasing number of families who are looking for a family adventure holiday together, and it does seem that these holidays guarantee you will actually get on well more than any other type of holiday.

The jostling for attention - and not just the kids - the petty arguments, the twelve year olds reverting to the terrible twos, and other common features of family holidays, disappear when you are facing something together that really excites the imagination. We have worked with a few selected African specialists for over ten years now to devise family holidays to South Africa that will exceed your expectation of what the cliché of bonding as a family can mean. We have one to the eastern side of South Africa exploring the Kruger and Swaziland, and one to Cape Town and Garden Route. For a real feel good holiday that your children will never forget, get up close with Thailand Gentle Giants and spend time in Chiang Rai in Northern Thailand or perhaps going on a ranch holiday in Montana.

We also know that long distance holidays like this can be expensive, and as one of the first travel agents to work with the group adventure tour companies at the end of the 1980s, we have seen how they have now managed to introduce new independent family trips following the same itineraries as its escorted groups, such as our family adventure holiday to Costa Rica or our Chamonix Family Adventure.

In addition, if you are interesting in any of our Wildlife or Adventure trips then for most of them we can certainly tailor make a trip for you using hotels and excursions that are perfect for you and your family.
