family holidays
Both the owners of c+l have their own children and all three teams organise holidays orientated around families of all ages in their particular destinations.
Throughout Central and South America there are great experiences for children, especially those who like to be kept busy- Costa Rica, Argentina and Peru are particularly good.
In India both Kerala and Rajasthan are great family destinations. Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Indonesia, Thailand and Nepal also all work in different ways depending on the age ranges.
As for Africa, Kenya or Tanzania with its mixture of safari and the easily accessible Indian Ocean is hard to beat and, particularly for younger families there are great options in South Africa and Mauritius.
The skill is in planning in enough but not too much and in selecting lodges and guides who really know how to bring a place to life. As parents we spend many hours worrying about a child’s education in terms of school whilst some of the most educational experiences are out there in the big wide world.
rajasthan
Surprising for some (as Kerala or Sri Lanka are probably a more popular family destination in the region), but Rajasthan has all of the history, vibrancy and local craft which children and teenagers find really involving. And out in rural Rajasthan you can ride horses or take in the landscape whilst never being far from a welcome swimming pool. Best in the Christmas/New Year holidays.

south africa
One of our most popular family destinations as it offers very good quality and value. Great for that first-time safari but, with self-drive easy in the Cape and an amazing diversity throughout the country - from battlefields to vineyards to township visits and Robben Island - there really is ‘something for everyone’ year round.

We can tailor your holiday to suit your family to include elements that keep all ages happy.

botswana
Some of the best safari destinations in the world for families. You can have a very active time as the best small, owner-run lodges,camps and private houses are outside the national parks. You can also access the coast with ease. Good for both the Summer holidays, particularly up country, and for the Christmas/New Year holidays or February half term both up country and on the coast.

ecuador + the galapagos
This is a fantastic idea for an adventure holiday which combines the ultimate introduction to wildlife and experiences that children will remember for a lifetime. From canoeing down the Amazon to walking on rope bridges over the tree tops, we can arrange the most exciting exploration of this very special part of South America.
