Cambodia family holidays offer a harmonious blend of education, adventure, and relaxation. The country's unique history and vibrant culture provide an enriching experience while tranquil countryside and beautiful beaches ensure a memorable and well-rounded family vacation.

Cambodia is a destination that sparks curiosity, wonder, and discovery for travellers of all ages, making it an ideal choice for family holidays. From ancient temples to pristine beaches and lush countryside, the country offers a diverse mix of experiences that are as educational as they are fun.

For families fascinated by history and culture, Siem Reap and the Angkor temples provide a captivating introduction to Cambodia’s past. Explore the magnificent Angkor Wat, wander through the jungle-clad ruins of Ta Prohm, or watch the sunset over Bayon’s iconic faces. Guided tours tailored for families bring the stories to life in a way that children and adults alike can enjoy. Another family favourite is a Vespa food tour – suitable for all ages, it’s a fun and memorable way to explore the city and discover its culinary delights.

Families seeking a more relaxed pace will find plenty to love in Kampot and Kep, with riverside strolls, pepper plantations, and coastal seafood markets offering a balance of cultural insight and hands-on experiences. The short drive from Kampot to Kep’s crab markets is perfect for curious young minds, while gentle cycling or boat trips along the river keep everyone engaged.

For sun, sand, and adventure, Koh Rong and Sihanoukville deliver unforgettable beach escapes. Kids will love building sandcastles, spotting colourful fish while snorkelling, or exploring hidden coves, while parents can unwind on pristine white sands or take a kayaking trip through calm waters.

Even city experiences are family-friendly: Phnom Penh blends history, culture, and entertainment. Explore the Royal Palace, enjoy a riverside sunset cruise, or discover local life at bustling markets. Older children can gain insight into Cambodia’s recent history at the Tuol Sleng Museum and Killing Fields, framed in a sensitive and educational way.

What can I say….my son and myself had the most wonderful time in Kenya thanks to the first-class itinerary that Ben and Louise put together for us. We spoke with Ben many times to ensure he ‘got it right’. This was our 2nd visit to Kenya, and it certainly lived up to our expectations and memories. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff; we cannot have been looked after any better. I would highly recommend Far and Wild; they are so knowledgeable and have personally visited the lodges and areas. We are already planning another visit, and we cannot wait.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
