Planning a family safari in Africa can be a big task; with lots of countries and places to stay to choose from, it can be quite daunting. Where should you choose? South Africa and Kenya safari holidays are both excellent choices for families with younger children. In South Africa you will find malaria free reserves, perfect if any family member is unable to take malaria medication. Many of the lodges here blend luxury with a really family friendly atmosphere. Your family have your own specially equipped private vehicle, guide and tracker to explore the bush with you. Wildlife populations are excellent and so your game viewing will be superb and a private vehicle means you’ll have lots of flexibility whilst out on game drives. Back at your lodge the specially trained staff have a whole host of different activities

Kenya’s camps and lodges are also very family orientated with all family friendly features of the South African accommodation mentioned above. They often also incorporate cultural experiences too. Many work together with local tribes meaning you can go out to visit local villages and schools, meet local people and find out more about how daily life works in rural Africa. Children can even spend time with real Maasai warriors learning the secret skills of bush craft from how to track animals and make bows and arrows to how to use plants as medicine.

If you’re looking for a really exclusive experience, most camps and lodges have dedicated family cottages or houses. These will have multiple bedrooms with en-suites, living spaces, private decks and pools and will often come with their own private team of staff to ensure your every need is met during your safari holiday.

Mexico is not the nearest holiday destination to the UK, and fantastic weather can certainly be found nearer to home, however, it can be one of the most exotic holiday destination, and it’s certainly becoming a popular holiday destination.

A trip to Mexico will warrant bars, restaurants and clubs, so you’re certainly not guaranteed a boring holiday. Of course it’s not just a clubbing stretch, there are relaxing beaches, and day trips to the coral reefs. The crystal clear water makes Mexico ideal for snorkelling, and food is fantastic, especially for those who like a little bit of heat.

A trip to Mexico is becoming a favourite for many people, and prices have come down somewhat for European travellers. Mexico will surely give you a type of holiday that you have never had before. The culture, food, people and weather can combine to make it the vacation of your dreams.

A holiday in Italy is a fantastic destination for many different reasons. The people are warm and friendly, the food is divine, the weather can be superb and the culture can really bring you down to earth. In Italy society emphasises the importance of enjoying life, and spending time with your loved ones.

Italians tend to be very connected to their families, and this will be embodied on your holiday in Italy. Naples is a vibrant area of Italy, and though it is a City it doesn’t exactly feel like one. There are many archaeological sites and various small cosy homes staring down into the alley-like roads.

Naples, like Rome oozes history, and fantastic food, so if you are looking for a stunning holiday this year, then consider a holiday in  Italy, it may just be they type of holiday you’ve always wanted.

Winter holidays can be completely different to those in the warmer months, especially if it’s winter in the place you’re visiting. Some people would argue that there’s not a great deal to do during the winter period, but we disagree completely.

If you’re visiting g a town or a city in Europe, there’s always bound to be plenty of restaurants around, and eating can actually be a holiday activity. For example if you’re visiting Rome, a lot of your time should be spent eating locally produced treats such as pasta dishes and pizzas, plus there’s no harm in gaining a few pounds, especially in the colder months.

Museums and cultural destinations tend to thrive during winter, and many people will take time to absorb some of that culture, visiting monuments, cathedrals and churches. Of course some people are happy to part with their money around Christmas, and there’s no better way to do this than Christmas shopping. For many it can actually be an enjoyable holiday activity, and you can treat yourself.

Hiking is a slightly different activity, but there’s something people love about taking in some fresh air in the open countryside to return home to a cosy house, and perhaps enjoy a spot of lunch. Holiday activities are obviously not going to be the same as those beach holidays in the summer, but it doesn’t mean they have to be less fun.

When people think of India they may tend to think about exotic surroundings and blue skies, but that’s not always the case, especially in the Himalayas. These monumentous mountains separate India from China, and it can actually be a quite a remarkable place to visit with a range of cold wildlife.

The snow leopard is one of the world’s most mysterious creatures and many holiday providers can set up trips to spot a snow leopard, and with that said few will return home with a peak, and I guess you could say that it is part of the fun. This area is certainly not for the faint-hearted, and it can be a lot more demanding than a safari adventure, but if you want to see a range of beautiful cold wildlife then perhaps there is no better place.

As we nearly reach Christmas, you may be pondering a little getaway, and with flights surprisingly cheap around Christmas it could be an ideal time. Of course it depends where you’re flying or travelling out to, and we’re providing you with a few options.

1. Berlin – It’s a beautiful city that screams Christmas. The food is fantastic and there are plenty of markets around where you can buy a smoking hot Bratwurst sausage or a schnitzel. If the snow is falling when you head out to Berlin you’re in for a fantastic winter treat, then again even if it does not snow you won’t arrive home disappointed.
2.  Bruges – Another fantastic city, but it’s extremely unique. If you’re a movie fan, and you love ‘In Bruges’, then you already have  taste of what the city can offer (without the violence of course). The Bruges Christmas market really is like a winter wonderland, and we mean it.
3. Krakow – it’s a polish city known for being one of Poland’s oldest cities, and if you want to see snow covered gothic churches or long stretches of winter lights, this is the place for you, and its picturesque if you’re a keen photographer.
