Chile Family Holidays

Unforgettable Family Adventures

Explore the mesmerising Atacama Desert, charming vineyards, and majestic wonders of Patagonia. With well-developed amenities and warm hospitality, create lasting memories in this exceptional destination.

Chile is an exceptional destination for families with a sense of adventure. With its vast landscapes, excellent infrastructure, and warm welcome, it’s a country that works brilliantly for children of all ages – whether you’re exploring the Atacama Desert, hiking through Patagonia, or sampling life among the vines in the central valleys. Direct flights from the UK and a straightforward self-drive option make it surprisingly accessible too.

Santiago is a safe and lively starting point, with leafy parks, colourful markets and plenty of child-friendly restaurants. The Artequin Museum is a favourite with local families, thanks to its creative exhibitions and regular kids’ events. In the winter months (June to September), you can even take a day trip up into the Andes to ski at Valle Nevado – less than 60km from the city.

In the far north, the Atacama Desert is a natural playground. Giant dunes, salt flats and surreal rock formations invite imaginative adventures, while the clear desert skies make stargazing a real highlight. The Valley of the Moon is a particular favourite – a dramatic, otherworldly setting that feels ready-made for games of lunar landings.

At the other end of the country, Patagonia offers wild landscapes and active days out. Teenagers especially will relish the sense of freedom here, with kayaking, hiking, horse riding and condor spotting all on the cards. Comfortable family lodges provide a warm base after days spent exploring glaciers, forests and remote fjords.

Chile’s central wine country is ideal for slower-paced days. Parents can enjoy tastings and vineyard walks, while many estates offer grape-stomping or garden games to keep younger ones entertained. The scenery here is stunning – rolling hills, wide valleys and colonial-style haciendas that speak to Chile’s rich heritage.

Although Chile is long and distances can be vast, travelling is straightforward. Roads are good, internal flights are efficient, and self-driving holidays give families the freedom to stop and explore at their own rhythm. Everywhere you go, you’ll find Chileans warm, welcoming and proud to share their culture, making it easy to feel at home wherever your journey takes you.

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. We stayed in four locations, firstly at the wonderful El Karama Lodge, Laikipia Wildlife Conservancy, where we even had a visit from Ruth from Far and Wild! Then, for a return visit, to Saruni Samburu, which is absolutely stunning and still one of our favourite places in the world. Next came Basecamp Mara Camp, where we saw our first Cheetah, the only animal we didn’t see on our first visit. After that, onto the wonderful Leopards Hill in the Naiboisho Conservancy, what a way to spend the last four days of this trip. Here we finally spent many hours with a beautiful leopard. Throughout our time in Kenya, we saw many lions, giraffes, elephants, ostriches, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards, to name just a few. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff; we cannot have been looked after any better. Since our return again Ben phoned to see how it went in addition to emails. 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. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! 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, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

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 Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. 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 (and I believe are) 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, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - 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. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. 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.

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!)!
