Laos Family Vacation

A welcoming atmosphere for adventurous families.

As you step into this ancient land, you'll find a captivating blend of cultural wonders, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. From vibrant Buddhist temples to lush jungles and tranquil rivers, Laos has something to offer every member of your family.

Laos, often referred to as the "Land of a Million Elephants," is a hidden gem in Southeast Asia that offers an enchanting and unique family holiday experience. With its rich cultural heritage, stunning natural beauty, and warm hospitality, Laos is the perfect destination for families looking to explore a different side of Asia.

Known for its ancient Buddhist temples, traditional ceremonies, and vibrant festivals. Visiting places like Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, allows families to immerse themselves in the country's spiritual and cultural heritage. Witnessing the daily almsgiving ceremony or exploring ancient temples can be both educational and awe-inspiring for children and adults alike.

Blessed with lush landscapes, from verdant rice paddies to dramatic mountain ranges. Families can enjoy activities like trekking in the jungle, exploring limestone caves, or taking a boat ride on the tranquil Mekong River. The Kuang Si Waterfalls, with their turquoise pools, provide an excellent opportunity for kids to swim and cool off in a breath-taking natural setting.

Laos offers a wide range of outdoor adventures, from ziplining through the treetops to kayaking on the Nam Song River. Adventurous families can take on exciting challenges such as tubing in Vang Vieng or zip-lining in the jungle, creating unforgettable memories.

Lao cuisine is diverse and delicious, offering a blend of flavours influenced by Thai and Vietnamese cooking. Families can savour local dishes at affordable prices, and even pick up some cooking skills by attending a traditional Lao cooking class.

Interacting with the warm and friendly locals allows families to learn about the unique Lao way of life. Children can engage with local kids, participate in cultural activities, and gain a broader perspective of the world.

Laos may not be the first destination that comes to mind for a family vacation, but its tranquil beauty, rich culture, and numerous opportunities for adventure make it a hidden treasure waiting to be explored.

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!)!
