INSPIRE ME FAMILY BREAKS Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti’s local experience with the Maasai 30 World Travel
consistently near-perfect weather, there’s no better place to build memories that will last a lifetime. The animal-spotting in Tanzania is second-to-none. In sub-Saharan Africa, you’re almost guaranteed to see giraffes, elephants, and even lions. Wildlife reserves like Saadani National Park, Arusha National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater provide plenty of opportunities to spot animals roaming free on the open savanna, always a thrilling experience for all ages. WHERE TO STAY: FOUR SEASONS SAFARI LODGE SERENGETI If the need is to stay in a traditional safari lodge but with comforts that are closer to home, the Four Seasons Serengeti offers a sanctuary of familiar pleasures – allowing you to feel safe and pampered at the same time, while the family soaks in the thrill that is African wildlife. In fact, you can watch animals cooling off at the adjacent watering hole from the lodge’s exquisite infinity pool. The family can venture out to explore the raw savannah wilderness with a game drive, hot air balloon safari, or a picnic in the bush – and return to unwind at the resort. Under the watchful eyes of the Maasai, the Kijana Klub gives kids the chance to create their own beaded jewellery, learn about tribal traditions, and even use remote camera traps to capture night-time photos of leopards and other elusive African wildlife. WHERE TO GO: PORTUGAL The mild year-round climate of Algarve makes this southern edge of Portugal ideal for a fun-filled family vacation. There’s a lot more to this beautiful destination than just beaches and water sports. Build connections with your loved ones and with nature while exploring the Portuguese coast, and some of the region’s most fascinating cities. To experience the natural beauty of the Algarve’s North Atlantic coast, take the family on a cruise to sail with the dolphins, or explore the transition of water to land at Ria Formosa Natural Park by jeep. The region’s coast is home to stories of past exploits, sailors of ages gone by navigating the might oceans by stars and bringing in fortunes from the corners of the globe. Portugal also offers plenty of thrills – theme parks, mini-golf, go-karts, delivering the much-needed adrenaline rush for the young at heart. A light version of a trek at Parque da Mina, a period set mining town themed park, is unique and bound to raise the curiosity level amongst the kids. WHERE TO STAY: MARTINHAL BEACH RESORT & HOTEL In one of Algarve’s least developed regions, a good thing, the Martinhal Sagres embodies a charming, informal atmosphere – but with stylishly designed villas that feel more like a vacation home than a hotel room. Complete with thoughtful family-friendly details, their villas are a comfortable escape for all ages. With the sand and sea within sight and open pools that signal splash-time, the mind goes to holiday-mode fairly quickly here. The open sea invites the entire family to sail along the coast of Sagres for an impressive view of the spectacular landscape – and maybe even catch a glimpse of some of Portugal’s local marine life. Then, take to the skies with a VIP helicopter tour or a memorable hot air balloon ride over the rolling hills of the Algarve. The menus at the resort are authentic and fresh, but still offer something for even World Travel 31
