Four Seasons Desroches Wildlife


Seychelles Family Vacation

An archipelago made up of over 100 islands, each with their own personality

Endless, sandy beaches are great for relaxation, but there are still plenty of activities to get involved in

The Seychelles is not only a stunning holiday destination, but is one of the few tropical countries that is malaria-free and doesn’t require any compulsory vaccinations to travel there. From the exciting wildlife in the tropical forests of Praslin to the thrilling water sports off the coast of Mahe, there’s a something for everyone.

There are numerous family-friendly hotels and resorts around the islands that feature Kids Clubs with plenty of entertainment to keep the little ones busy while you treat yourself at the hotel spa. For more adventure you can try zip-lining through the jungle – a definite favourite for the young ones. A trip to Bird Island is a must for any animal-lovers where you can see Giant Tortoises, a fascinating array of birds and watch Hawksbill and Green Turtles laying their eggs (between September and December).

A trip the Seychelles wouldn’t be complete without a visit underwater to see the mesmerising array of fish and coral. Children under eight can join courses that teaches them to use a mask and snorkel, while those aged 12 and older can gain their Junior PADI Open Water Diver certificate. If you don’t fancy getting your feet wet, you can always enjoy a glass-bottom boat trip.

The Seychelles is traditionally thought of as a romantic, honeymoon destination, but you and your family can get so much out of it as well. Just ask a Far & Wild expert how to make this dream destination a reality.

Our Seychelles expert, Ruth, says:

“The Seychelles are wonderfully open to families. The pace is relaxed, the beaches are safe and shallow, and many resorts go out of their way to make younger guests feel at home. It’s the kind of place where parents can truly unwind, while children are just as enchanted by the islands as the adults.”

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.

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!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
