On the road with the kids

Family travel must be about fun, whether it’s sledging on a tea tray down a sand dune in the Namib Desert, paddling through the Okavango Delta in a dugout canoe or visiting the ancient Moroccan kasbah where ‘Gladiator’ was filmed. Dragoman offers a choice of five family adventures all designed to combine fun, excitement, learning and relaxation. Go on the road with Dragoman and show kids the wonders of the world.

Moroccan Family Adventure: 14 nights departing Marrakech 29th Jun, 13th & 27th Jul & 10th Aug 09.

Arriving in Morocco is like wandering onto a film set - a place where people wear long robes and turbans, donkeys clop along narrow alleyways and exotic bazaars peddle all manner of weird and wonderful goods. Dragoman’s families stay mostly in traditional riads and kasbahs on this tour, with some camping in the desert. There's a trip to Ait Benhaddou, where 'Gladiator' was filmed, a camel ride into the Sahara dunes and a chance to go walking in the Atlas Mountains. Dragoman also visits the pretty seaside town of Essaouira, with its walled medina where no cars are allowed and fabulous Atlantic beach. And of course there’s Marrakech, an intoxicating mix of snake charmers, magic potions and hidden palaces.

The tour costs £1,095 p/adult, £986 p/child (6-15 years) including transport aboard Dragoman’s Mercedes-Benz truck and camels, riad, hotel, french auberge, desert camping and campsite accommodation (70% hotels / 30% camping), all camp meals and the expertise of Dragoman’s two person crew.

Peru Family Adventure: 14 nights departing Lima 4th & 25th Jul & 15th Aug 09.

A two-week adventure travelling from the National Parks of the Bellestas Isles right up into the Andes. En route visit the mummies of Chauchilla, have the option to fly over the bizarre Nazca lines, plus time to relax and explore the beautiful colonial cities of Arequipa and Cusco. As with all of Dragoman’s tours there’s plenty of opportunity to become involved within the community and on this trip a visit to the reed islands of Lake Titicaca and an overnight on a Quechua homestay is included. The real highlight for all the family is the remarkable ‘Lost City’ of Machu Picchu and Sacred valley.

The tour costs £1,050 p/adult, £945 p/child (6-15 years) including transport aboard Dragoman’s Mercedes-Benz truck and camels, hotel and camping accommodation (85% hotels / 15% camping), all camp meals and the expertise of Dragoman’s two person crew.

Namibian & Botswana Adventure: 18 nights departing Livingstone 4th & 11th Jul & Windhoek 22nd Jul 09.

Start the adventure at incredible Victoria Falls, then head to Chobe - famous for its elephants – for a boat safari. Travelling deep into the Okavango Delta, stay on a houseboat in the heart of the wilderness, before crossing into Namibia to meet the Bushmen, visiting one of their schools and learning how they live. Stop at a cheetah reserve, where orphaned animals are looked after, then visit Swakopmund for quad biking and sand boarding. Finally, travel through the beautiful Namib Desert to watch the sunrise from the top of the biggest sand dune imaginable!

The tour costs £1,350 p/adult, £1,215 p/child (6-15 years) including transport aboard Dragoman’s Mercedes-Benz truck and camels, hotel and camping accommodation (20% hotels / 80% camping), most meals and the expertise of Dragoman’s two person crew.
