Wild Child
Knowing how our clients love to experience all things ‘wild’, we have decided that it’s never too young to start your Wild Frontiers journey. With that in mind we have chosen some of our favourite places and given them a unique family twist. Whether you are taking your first big adventure together as a family or maybe returning to old haunts with older children, we have something that should appeal to new and seasoned travellers alike, and make your family adventure holiday an experience to remember.
With a couple of group tour exceptions – alternative Christmas and Easter in Rajasthan – all the family adventure holidays are tailor-made to your own specification so you can choose which accommodation and transport as well as activities and excursions will suit your family best – so hopefully avoiding the dreaded ‘I’m bored’ scenario! If learning how to cook a knockout curry, ride a camel, camping out under the stars, face painting an elephant or eagle hunting appeal, then we’ve got plenty to keep you and your kids occupied.
'Our African adventure in Botswana and Mozambique was a boys paradise. From tracking the world's most dangerous preditors, to galloping across flood plains and even extreme fishing for supper, they loved it. best of all they didn't have to wash for days!'
