Family trips

Visit the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre to see the world’s smallest (and only tropical) bears. Founder Dr Wong will teach you all about these intriguing forest dwellers – from their personalities to their unique chest markings – before sitting down to make puzzle feeders and scent-based enrichment toys. Then, watch your toys be put to the test from the observation platform.

Ancient Egypt is usually a favourite topic for kids at school, so it’s pretty special watching the tales of Cleopatra, Khufu and Tutankhamun come to life through their eyes. Visit the iconic Pyramids, which have stood tall for 4500 years, feel tiny as you stand beneath the Great Sphinx and wander the Mummies Hall for a close encounter with some of Egypt's most famous queens and pharaohs.

Hold on tight for a camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes, then settle in for an epic campout under the Saharan skies – and just because you're in a remote location doesn’t mean roughing it! Your tents include large beds, ensuite bathrooms and air conditioning for good measure. After a traditional dinner, listen to live Gnaoua music around the fire and maybe have a competition with the kids to see who can spot the most shooting stars.

The Galapagos Islands are your ticket to some unforgettable animal encounters. A typical day here might include snorkelling with turtles over ancient lava tubes, getting eye level with giant tortoises, or casually strolling the shores past penguins and sea lions. You and the kids will also turn ocean waste into feel-good souvenirs during a fun lesson that blends art and marine conservation.
