Ecuador and Galapagos

Ecuador is ideal for families looking for a cultural vacation filled with nature, adventure, fresh farm to table food and a rich diverse and friendly culture. Ecuador offers a combination of the jungle, the Galápagos islands and colonial and Incan history — all in one trip. If you are looking for a safe, fun and enriching holiday with kids and adults of all ages then Ecuador is a top pick. Also, because many of Ecuador’s best wildlife spots are remote, there is very little WIFI so it’s the perfect “tech-free” holiday.

Costa Rica

The wonderful variety of Costa Rica makes it a fantastic place to bring your family for a trip that provides so much more. From the nature of the rainforest to the stunning sight of Arenal Volcano and the many wonderful beaches, it is a destination perfect for families with active and curious children. A well paced and diverse trip to Costa Rica should be around 14 days. Costa Rica is not an easy country to get around on your own so having a driver/guide is especially useful. Activities for families include, white water rafting, zip lining, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and biking. Nature abounds in Costa Rica so visits to its national parks are a must. Several species of monkey’s swing through the trees, birds are abundant, and Costa Rica is the nesting site for several species of endangered sea turtles.

Kenya

Kenya offers an excellent range of unique, exhilarating activities for families, but the biggest draw of Kenya for families is safari. Safaris appeal to children’s sense of wonder. Driving almost within arm’s reach of elephants, lion and cheetah is an experience that will stay with your kids forever. In addition to catching glimpses of the fascinating ‘Big Five’. One of the highlights of a trip to Kenya is witnessing the extraordinary spectacle of the great wildebeest migration, taking place in July-October. Around two million wildebeest crash through the Maasai Mara reserve, as hungry predators lay wait for the right moment to attack. This is truly one of the most memorable experiences that you and your family will ever have in nature. For families, lodging is very important, and we choose camps and lodges that do more than tolerate kids – they actively embrace their enthusiasm, energy and curiosity. Most lodges will happily accommodate you and your children, and many have specialized “ranger” programs to keep them busy when not out looking for game.
