Family Safari & Wildlife Holidays

They say children are born with a sense of wonder and an affinity for nature, which is why safari’s make the perfect family holiday. Undoubtedly a child’s love of animals is inherent, but the pressures of modern family life mean few of us can share our homes with a menagerie of beasties.

Our family wildlife and safari holidays give your kids the chance to have close encounters with nature that they’ll never forget! Here’s some of the locations we cover and what you can expect to experience on a family safari holiday tailored to you by our safari experts. 

Classic South African Safari family holidays

A classic South African safari holiday comes into its own when coupled with ranger training camps and bush sleep-outs, all in a day’s play after a morning of spotting the Africa Big Five, which includes elephants, lions, leopards, cape buffalo and even rhinos.

Indian Ocean wildlife holidays

Venture to the Indian Ocean for a wildlife adventure holiday in Seychelles! Today’s children know more about ecology than any adult, so a wildlife holiday to Seychelles, where giant tortoises roam the private island of Desroches, is perfect for bringing them face-to-face with some of their favourite animals. Those with a passion for mini-beasts will love spotting the endangered frogs, spiders and geckos in Coco de Mer on Praslin.

Southeast Asia family safari holidays

Southeast Asia is also home to some brilliant safaris full of incredible wildlife. Children will be amazed on a holiday in Borneo to see orangutans.

On a Thailand wildlife safari, you can experience washing elephants before taking a canoe safari downriver to spot monkeys, hornbills, and gibbons! You could even sleep in a luxury floating rainforest camp by night.

Australian Outback wildlife safari holidays

Australia is another key location for seeing some incredible wildlife! Head down under to Australia’s Outback and the Great Barrier Reef, followed by the animal kingdom of Tasmania to spot Tasmanian devils, platypuses and wombats galore.
