Today we’re grateful for the opportunity to share the world with our moms and the privilege of showing our kids ways they can help conserve our planet. As a women-led team—and many of us mothers ourselves—it’s in our nature to care about our clients, each other, the environment, communities where we travel, and our partners worldwide the way mothers do. Our origin story is maternal, and so is our travel style. We’re founded on matriarchal values of kindness, patience, trust, and nurturing.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who nurture, mentor, and make a meaningful impact on their children’s lives—moms truly make the world
go around.

The Ultimate Guide To Family Safari

Our CEO Elizabeth Gordon says family safaris are the best kind of adventure: one that connects you to the natural world and to each other. We know what you’re thinking…“How on Earth can I go on an African safari with kids?”

As travel planners, we’re here to assure aspiring and seasoned globetrotting families that you can bring your littles on safari. We’ve heard all the objections: the flights, the time zones, picky eaters, “they won’t remember it.” It may take a moment for the idea to germinate into total enthusiasm. Still, with our guidance (we’re parents, too!), we promise transformative experiences for curious kiddos—ranging from crawlers to teenagers— in accommodating destinations where children are not merely tolerated but adored and enriched. Read the blog to find out how we can help you plan the greatest adventure with your entire family…

The Best Family Vacations In South America

At Extraordinary Journeys, we spend a lot of time singing the high praises of bringing kids on safari in Africa. But South America deserves to share in the family-friendly limelight. Sure, the wildlife may be less familiar (condor, guanaco, and capybara), and you might need to learn the names of its Indigenous peoples (Quechua, Aymara, and Mapuche). Still, the continent rewards travelers in so many ways. Tropical in the north and glacial in the south, South America is a kaleidoscope of landscapes shaped by the formidable Andes Mountains. There’s much to learn and tangled histories to appreciate. Traveling through family-oriented cultures, your children will be welcomed and celebrated. Plus, the opportunities for adventuring outdoors are bound only by ambition and ability. Read the blog to find out where the best places to travel in South America with kids are.
