Best Family Holidays Around the World

But, because holidays abroad used to cater mainly for adults, family groups travelling abroad for the first time can be daunted about the prospect of taking young children away, and deciding where to go can be one of the first dilemmas you face. However, if you choose carefully, you'll discover that there are plenty of world-wide locations that are just perfect for kids, and that will keep them so occupied that you'll have plenty of time to kick back and relax yourself.

The most obvious choice is Florida in the USA. With the attraction of Disneyland lying at the heart of Orlando, as well as the multitude of other exciting adventures to be found in the State of Florida, families will have plenty to occupy themselves with. You could spend two weeks here and never do the same thing twice, from trips to the Everglades and dinner shows at Arabian Nights to enjoy, there will always be plenty on offer. And themed hotels like Disney's All Star Movies Resort will keep the adventure alive even when you're not in the park itself.

The continent of Africa plays host to two more destinations that are worthy of a family holiday. Starting with Kenya, why not book a holiday of a lifetime and enjoy an African safari adventure. Guided tours through the outback with wild animals roaming freely beside your jeep, or quiet and peaceful airborne trips in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti are just two of the amazing experiences you can enjoy.

Egypt is also a perfect location for family friendly activities. The warm sun year round and the fabulous golden sands of the Red Sea beaches, make this an ideal location for young adventurers and their parents. It's easy to get drawn in to the magic of Cairo on trips to visit the ancient ruins and view the preserved mummies, and kids of all ages will be delighted on a camel trek to visit the stunning pyramids and Sphinxes hidden deep in the sands of the desert.

If parents crave a truly exotic beach holiday, with pina coladas and pineapple slices staggered with spa treatments and Jacuzzi baths, then the Caribbean is the ideal location for an exceptional holiday. Many of the hotels here cater very well for both parents and children, and there are several which offer creches to make sure that adults get a little bit of free time to take advantage of these many stunning islands. The Caribbean offers a host of activities for children from zip line trips to jeep tours through lush rainforests, and adults will enjoy these experiences as well.

When you're deciding on a family vacation abroad, it's essential that you make the right choice before you go. Consider the age group of the children you're travelling with so you can find out what there is for them to do before you book. Most resorts these days can cater well for kids of all ages, but it's still a good idea to do a little research in advance.

Use an experienced company to help you make your choice. They'll know what to expect from holidays with kids and can guide you through the pro's and con's of services like all inclusive or self catering facilities as well as helping you to book your chosen excursions in advance.
