Adventure, culture and nature for all the family

From bustling cities to phenomenal natural wonders, find a myriad of experiences that cater to all ages.

There are a multitude of reasons to take your family to Colombia on holiday.

First and foremost are the massive variety of family-friendly activities and experiences on offer. Take the family to the cosmopolitan city of Bogotá, where you can explore the historical district of La Candelaria, visit interactive museums like Maloka, and ride the cable car to Monserrate for panoramic views. Move on to Medellín, known as the "City of Eternal Spring," and enjoy family activities like exploring the interactive Parque Explora or taking a cable car ride to the scenic Parque Arví. Experience the magic of Cartagena's colonial charm as you wander through its colourful streets, visit the interactive museum of the Naval Museum of the Caribbean, and enjoy a traditional chiva bus tour.

Seek knowledge and adventure in the Coffee Cultural Landscape, where you and your family can learn all about the beauty of coffee farms, hike through cloud forests, and zip-line through the canopies. Explore the Amazon rainforest in Leticia, encountering wildlife and indigenous communities along the way. Consider a visit to Tayrona National Park, where you can hike through tropical forests, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and relax on stunning beaches.

For the active family, Colombia offers an array of exciting outdoor activities too. Embark on a river rafting adventure in San Gil, explore the underground Salt Cathedral in Zipaquirá, or enjoy horseback riding in the beautiful Cocora Valley. Wildlife enthusiasts can take a boat tour on the Pacific coast to spot humpback whales or visit the butterfly sanctuary in Villa de Leyva.

Colombia's diverse attractions, warm hospitality, and kid-friendly experiences make it an ideal destination for any kind of family holiday.

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!)!
