African Holidays
For the ultimate in family adventure holidays Africa is the place to be. With a host of different destinations offering camps, hotels, parks and reserves this is a country well versed and equipped to run fun yet organised safaris.

One of the most popular destinations to experience safari is ...
... Tanzania where families can divide their time between a luxury safari destination tour and time on the beaches on the island of Zanzibar. With national parks as well as game reserves Tanzania is certainly not short of things to do. Just make sure you book a few weeks if you plan to tour and enjoy the area at a relaxed pace.

Rwanda offers quite a different range of safari holidays and certainly lives up to its name, "the land of a thousand hills". With volcanoes, rainforest and numerous huge lakes this area will stay forever in the memory of those that visit. Not only will travellers get a chance to see majestic animals in their natural habitat, here they will also be treated to spectacular views of unspoiled landscapes.

Likewise, Botswana offers land and natural wild habitats unspoiled by the negative impact of mass tourism. Wildlife reserves as well as national parks provide excellent sites to visit with the family. Whilst Botswana's serene wide open spaces offer rare and unique tourist sites free from noise, crowds and tourist traps.

Last but by no means least is Kenya and probably one of the most well known safari destinations in the world. Here families can enjoy a number of attractions including the Masai Mara, white sandy beaches and the great Mount Kenya. Try horseback safaris, fly camping and trekking safaris or simply relax and read on the beach. New parks and tour developments have helped keep this area unspoiled by overcrowding so it's a place well worth a visit.
