Malaysia Family Vacations

A treasure trove of family-friendly experiences

From cultural exploration to wildlife encounters, beautiful beaches to highland adventures, Malaysia offers a diverse range of activities that cater to every family member's interests.

Looking for an unforgettable family holiday that combines rich cultural experiences with stunning natural beauty? Look no further than Malaysia. With its diverse landscapes, vibrant culture, and family-friendly attractions, Malaysia is the perfect destination for creating cherished memories with your loved ones.

Begin your Malaysian family adventure in Kuala Lumpur, the dynamic capital. Visit the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and explore Batu Caves, a series of magnificent limestone caves adorned with Hindu temples. Immerse your family in the cultural tapestry of Malaysia by witnessing traditional dance performances and savouring authentic Malaysian cuisine at the bustling Petaling markets.

A short drive from Kuala Lumpur takes you to Melaka (Malacca), a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its rich history. Explore Dutch colonial buildings, Portuguese forts, and Chinese temples. The Melaka River Cruise offers a unique perspective on the city's heritage.

For wildlife enthusiasts, Malaysia is a paradise. Head to Borneo, where you can visit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre to witness these incredible creatures up close. Take a river cruise along the Kinabatangan River to spot proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, and a variety of bird species.

Malaysia boasts some of Asia's most beautiful beaches. Langkawi, an archipelago in the Andaman Sea, offers pristine sandy shores and crystal-clear waters. It's an ideal spot for family relaxation and water activities.

For a different kind of family adventure, head to the Cameron Highlands. Explore tea plantations, butterfly gardens, and strawberry farms. The cool climate and lush scenery make it a refreshing escape from Malaysia's tropical heat.

Malaysia is home to a range of family-friendly accommodations, from beachfront resorts to jungle lodges. Many offer kids' clubs and activities to keep the little ones entertained while parents relax.

Malaysia is known for its warm hospitality, and many places are family-oriented, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and included.

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!)!
