The family vacation is an American institution. People save for an entire year for that two-week getaway. The best part of vacationing is planning your destination. Each family member probably has their preference. Today we will talk about exciting journeys for the animal lovers in your family.
Wild Animal Sanctuary
There are dozens of animal sanctuaries, rescues, and reserves that offer programs and tours for vacationers. Some are specific to individual animals; others have multiple species in their facilities. A few offer hotels and small cabins on sight, while others provide RV spaces with full-service hookups available.
If you are interested in big cats, there is the Big Cat Rescue located in Tampa, Fl., which serves as a sanctuary dedicated to saving and caring for big cats that were abused and abandoned from illegal commercial use. With 80+ lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other species, they have many different tours to choose. Prices determined on which trip you select; photo tour, keeper tour, feeding tour, or basic tour to name a few. Big Cat Rescue is a must-see for avid lion and tiger lovers.
Animal Kingdom
Disney World holds animals in high regard. The Animal Kingdom is an entire park dedicated to animals from around the world. Park Savers says that animal conservation is a central theme for Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Don’t forget the safari with exotic animals in their natural habitat. Disney houses an impressive variety of animals you won’t see in a zoo.
Additionally, you’ll want to spend at least one full day at the park enjoying attractions, rides, special events, and tours running from first thing in the morning until well after dark. Finally, cap your excursion taking delight in the nighttime experience with electrifying displays of color and light.
The African Safari
When planning an African Safari, it is wise to do your homework. According to Go2Africa, Safaris have their seasons just like any other destination vacation. For example, in South Africa, the winter dry season is the best time for viewing its inhabitants and falls between May and October. Sighting big game in Kenya is at its best from January through March. There are scores of scheduling options for safari vacations and any choice you make will prove to be both awe-inspiring and educational for the entire family.
Family vacations are great for getting away and relaxing for a week or two. Destination vacations are much more exhilarating and memorable than laying around a pool. Are you still looking for the perfect destination for your next vacation? Triptations can help with that!
