Families
Family holidays often require more logistical precision than your average military campaign, so a bit of expert advice at the planning stage is essential.
The Original Travel portfolio has grown steadily as we source new family favourites, but remains select because we know that despite ubiquitous claims to family-friendliness, few hotels or lodges really have the right kidentials.
Since the launch of our Original Kids portfolio we have sent parents and their off-spring off to destinations as diverse as the jungles of Borneo to see orang-utans in the wild, and camping under the stars in the dunes of the Wahiba Sands desert in Oman.
We know there’s a place for the bucket and spade holiday that the likes of Europe, Mauritius and the Caribbean do so well, but we believe that with our know-how it is now perfectly plausible to enjoy a family walking safari in Africa, or a kayaking holiday in Croatia. After all, family holidays should be as much fun for the parents as they are for the children.
