A truly global choice from Families Worldwide in 2015

Market-leading family adventure holiday company Families Worldwide, has launched its exciting 2015 programme revealing no fewer than 13 brand new itineraries, taking the total number of countries to choose from around the world to 32.

There are also lots of trip extension options – for example a few days on the beach in Zanzibar for trips to Tanzania – and many more tailor-made options including, new for 2015, South Africa, plus Boutique Safaris using first-class camp accommodation.

Comments Mark Wright, Founder of Families Worldwide and the man who introduced family adventure holidays in the UK: “Children make great travelling companions; their curiosity and thirst for knowledge ensures that they absorb everything and miss nothing, and our tour leaders will answer the multitude of questions that will be asked so mum and dad can relax!

“For 2015, as well as introducing lots of exciting new itineraries to countries such as Borneo and China, we have also reduced the duration of some of our popular trips to counter the recent change in the law relating to taking children out of school during term time; now more people can enjoy a week-long family adventure at half term.

“A new trend we’ve noticed is what we call GUFU’s (grown up family units still travelling together) and, with this in mind, we have created some early and late summer trips to enable families with older teenagers – maybe having just finished exams – the opportunity to take advantage of lower airfares before the main season.”

Here are just three examples of the 13 new trips from Families Worldwide…
