    Luxury accommodation for family adventure tours

    There are many incredible places to stay around the world. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

    Madikwe

    Morukuru Family
    Morukuru Family offers three exquisite ‘villas’ in Madikwe: the River House, the Owner’s House and the Farmhouse. Each villa provides an exclusive retreat in the heart of the South African wilderness, ensuring an unforgettable experience. You have complete control in each villa, with a team to cater to your preferences. Without set schedules, you can choose precisely what you want to do and when, whether tracking wildlife on a tailored big game drive or lounging by the pool with a cocktail. The River House, the largest property, accommodates up to six adults and four children, offering a spacious and exquisitely appointed setting.  A wooden walkway links the River House to the Owner’s House, creating an expansive exclusive-use safari escape. The Owner’s House caters to smaller parties of two to four guests. This intimate accommodation features a heated infinity pool, a well-stocked wine cellar and a library. The minimalist design, featuring natural wood and stone, invites seamless inside-outside living. The Farmhouse, located a ten minute walk from the other two properties, accommodates groups of four to ten guests and is ideal for multi-generational travel or milestone celebrations. The Farmhouse features a warm, neutral palette and bespoke Afro-chic accents, making it a popular choice for a South African family safari. All five uniquely decorated bedrooms are connected to the main area by a covered walkway.  All Morukuru Family houses come with a close-knit team including a personal chef, butler, housekeepers, a host, and a safari guide and wildlife tracker.

    When to go on a family adventure tour

    The best time for family adventure travel largely depends on your destination. We generally recommend travelling during the drier, sunnier months, so you can make the most of outdoor activities. Shoulder seasons can also be ideal for family trips with smaller crowds and pleasant weather conditions.

    Some places don’t have clearly defined dry and rainy seasons; others experience different weather depending on which part of the country you’re visiting. For example, most of Costa Rica has its dry season from December to April. And the Caribbean coast is usually least rainy in September and October, which are among the wettest months elsewhere.

    To navigate these nuances and seasonal differences, speak with a travel designer who knows your destination well. They can help you choose the best time to travel according to where you’re going, what you want to do and any other criteria specific to your family.
