Create your tailor-made family holiday with the help of Far & Wild Travel

Plan your family holiday like no other

Create once-in-a-lifetime experiences for all the family in the best family holiday destinations in the world

The best family holidays are those that balance shared adventure with comfort, flexibility and moments that genuinely excite every generation. They create lasting memories by combining familiar comforts with new experiences, whether that is wildlife, culture, beaches or active exploration. We know that planning a family holiday can feel complex, particularly when different ages and interests are involved. Our experienced team, many of whom travel regularly with their own families, are here to guide you towards destinations and family-friendly accommodation that truly work, rather than simply look good on paper.

For families seeking adventure and variety, Latin America is an exceptional choice. Countries such as Costa Rica are ideal for family travel, with wildlife-rich rainforests, zip-lining, volcanoes and safe, well-organised eco-adventures. Peru combines history and outdoor exploration, from the Sacred Valley to gentle introductions to Machu Picchu. The Galápagos Islands in Ecuador offer unforgettable wildlife encounters that appeal to both younger and older children, while Brazil blends vibrant culture with beaches and Amazon exploration. Families can also explore Mayan ruins in Mexico, snorkel along the Caribbean coasts of Colombia and Panama, or discover the dramatic landscapes of Chile and Argentina. Each journey can be tailored around your family’s interests, pace and travel style.

Africa remains one of the strongest destinations for family holidays, particularly for those dreaming of wildlife, wide-open spaces and warm, welcoming lodges. Some countries suit families better than others, taking into account health considerations, travel times and accommodation styles, and this is where expert guidance is essential. South Africa is an excellent first introduction, with malaria-free safari options, flexible self-drive routes and excellent family lodges. Namibia and Malawi offer superb value, striking landscapes and uncrowded experiences, while Kenya pairs classic safari with easy access to Indian Ocean beaches. For more adventurous families, Tanzania, Uganda and even Madagascar offer extraordinary wildlife and cultural journeys. Beyond Africa, we also plan family holidays in India and Sri Lanka, as well as the Middle East, with Oman proving particularly popular for families looking for culture, nature and minimal flying.

Every family holiday we design is built around what matters most to you, ensuring it feels exciting, manageable and genuinely memorable from start to finish.

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!)!
