Our pick of the best family holiday experiences
Whether it’s a bonding-weekend with your children, or a special holiday escape involving multi-generations, embarking on a family holiday always requires a lot of planning. Plan a bespoke itinerary with Lightfoot Travel and we’ll make sure that everyone’s needs are met, from hotel facilities and activities for children, to flight times and food requirements. A family holiday in Africa is a fantastic destination for the whole family, with many luxurious lodges and elegant camps welcoming kids of all ages. Choose an area with a low-risk of malaria such as the Madikwe Reserve in South Africa and head on nature drives, guided walks and cultural village visits; take teens on a gorilla trek in Uganda; or try star-spotting in the night skies of the Masai Mara in Kenya.
Keep everyone occupied on a family trip to Southeast Asia. Marvel at temples, shop for unique art, and stick your toes in the sands of beautiful Bali; cycle through rice paddy fields and try your hand at making perfect spring rolls in Vietnam; or explore the ancient streets and magic of Chiang Mai in Thailand by tuk-tuk.
For idyllic island life Maldives family holidays offer a temperate climate, top dive sites, family-friendly hotels and resorts, and a safe environment. Enjoy lazing in paradise with the latest podcast or relaxing in the spa with a hot stone massage while your children build sand castles and crab kingdoms at the kids’ club.
Alternatively, head for the mesmerising hula and huge waves of Hawaiiwhere year-round sunshine beckons, the surf is incredible, the golden beaches twinkle, the farm-to-table food is fresh, and the local faces are always family-friendly.
