More and more families ask us for a special trip tailored to them. All our small group trips are designed for adults, although many allow children to join if their families understand that they will be travelling with other participants.
If you are thinking of going on a safari with children, you may wonder whether the trip will be suitable for them.

How long has it been since we last went on an adventure with our loved ones? Now is our chance.
Families increasingly ask us for a special private trip just for them: what we in the travel industry call tailor-made family trip.
Travelling together as a family can be complicated for adults: it takes patience and a little luck. That is why we think it is a good idea to offer tailor-made trips for families seeking something special, with more privacy, peace of mind and reassurance when travelling with children and/or teenagers.
Most trips on our website can be adapted to each family's needs; however, there are some itineraries that are especially advisable.
If we choose our itinerary thinking it will be a tailor-made family trip, we can turn safaris in South Africa into tours by reserves where there is no malaria, staying at campsites with swimming pools while driving a 4×4 along Namibia’s tracks; or replace temple visits for a fun afternoon of Pokémon in Tokyo.
Most of our trips can be adapted to the needs of each family or group of friends. Please speak to the specialist for your destination.

Travelling as a family is a post our blog could not do without. Those of us who regularly organise trips with children know how difficult it can be to choose the right destination for them. As our colleague Yolanda has just returned from Thailand, we asked her to tell us what it was like to travel to this Southeast Asian country with children.
My first trip to Thailand It was many, many years ago… and I remember it particularly well because it was one of the first long-haul trips of my life!
This year I was planning to take my daughter on her first big trip. She is 12 years old and, by the way… beautiful!!!
I had fond memories of my first trip, and when it came to choosing a destination, I knew: Thailand was chosen for their first experience in this fantastic world!
Once we decided Thailand as our family travel destination, the questions begin…
I can tell you that Thailand is ideal for travelling with children, with something for almost everyone. The varied itinerary combines two major cities, Bangkok and Chiang Mai, a great adventure in the northern mountains, where we will enjoy various activities and spend time with local ethnic minorities, followed by a well-earned finale… days of relaxation on the beach!!!!
We know that travelling with children slows the pace. This trip lets you enjoy the destination at leisure, without feeling that precious time is slipping away: there is time for everything. It is as if the clock would stop so we could make much more of the day. Explaining what lies ahead and involving children in the experience helps them engage and feel excited about each new adventure. It helps us parents relax and enjoy watching them have fun.
Luggage is one concern when travelling as a family. You need very little for this trip!!!
Comfortable clothing and walking shoes are the most important things. Toys can stay at home!!! And for shopping lovers… Thailand is an ideal destination!
A very well-balanced trip and, let’s be honest… AFFORDABLE!!! We know that, when travelling with children, the daily budget can multiply by the number of family members, without increasing the number of people paying the bills, right? Travelling with children to Thailand is within your budget.
I encourage you to try this adventure and I assure you that it is possible travelling with children and having a wonderful holiday.
If you enjoy travelling to little-known places or experiencing different cultures and now have children, keep pursuing your passion and take them with you.
All our Organised tours of Thailand are designed for travel in a small group of 4 to 12 people, making it an ideal destination for families, large or small.
When children are older, an active and varied trip often works extraordinarily well, and Thailand offers adventure, comfort and safety.
Thailand is a wonderful destination for travelling with children and introducing them to the world of travel.
If you are still not convinced that Thailand is an ideal destination for travelling with children, we want to offer more reasons to go. As a picture is worth a thousand words, here is Paula Tel’s video, filmed in Thailand, which won our 2016 competition. It perfectly captures the spirit of family travel in a destination as special as Thailand.
