Luxury Family Holidays in October

It’s the last half term of the year and a long haul family holiday in October is almost the only way of enjoying some late summer or early winter sunshine. Make the most of the dry season in Kenya on a luxury half-term holiday. Head to one of the magical and eclectic family friendly safari lodges where your guides will take the family horse riding, on walking safaris and game drives, and even sleep outs under the stars – giving all the family a glimpse into the true heart of Africa.

October is one of the most idyllic months of the year in which to visit The Seychelles, and your family holiday can have an added bonus for children will be the chance to witness the turtle-nestling season when endangered hawksbill and green turtles lay their eggs. Fiji will just be heading into its shoulder season, when prices fall but the weather is still lovely, so a great option for those with pre-school age children. Less far to travel but for an equally bewitching family holiday in October is the Sultanate of Oman, just a short distance from Dubai but with fewer visitors and stunning beaches. The entire family will fall in love with the Six Senses Zighy Bay.
