Luxury Family Holidays in February

While any hope of Spring weather is still a distant prospect across Europe, February brings with it the first half term of the year, so those with school age children will be on the lookout for well-priced, long-haul winter sun for their family holiday. If budget is not an issue, the Caribbean and Indian Ocean are perfect for a family holiday in February, and Mauritius in particular works with Friday evening flights from London, returning the following Sunday morning.

If your family enjoys adventure holidays, put Vietnam on your list, or for wildlife and nature, Sri Lanka is an exotic choice. Topping our chart, however, is Africa. South Africa is easily enjoyed in a week, and we adore malaria free Makayanye Safari Lodge which has introduced an inspired children’s programme in key holiday times including February half term. The safari camps in Tanzania for safari are hard to resist and are perfect for a luxury family holiday. If you are lucky enough to have ten days or a fortnight to spare, why not do a safari beach holiday and combine a few days on safari with a week on our favourite spice island, Zanzibar.
