Reality Check

The roads are generally pretty good, but local traffic and/or road damage after the monsoon can sometimes slow us down.

The tour is not overly demanding, but some of the days can be busy, where travelling is combined with sightseeing. At times it can be quite hot and dusty (except December) and the bustle of the Indian cities can be tiring.

Together with our local operator we have put together a pictorial quiz featuring many of the historical sites this trip visits. This will be given to children on the trip and is terrific fun as well as being somewhat educational in content.

Normal group size and age

Normally 6 to 16 plus leader and driver. Minimum age 5.

Trivia

Easily recognized by its coat of reddish-orange with dark stripes, the tiger is the largest wild cat in the world. This big cat weighs up to 363 kilograms, is up to 2 metres in length, and has a 1-metre long tail.

Going on a Family Group trip is a fantastic way to meet new friends and create lasting friendships – for parents and children alike! These holidays combine exploration with sociability and fun, as other families will join you. Minimum ages vary across the trip range, but is usually from 5 years old.

Special Interest: For those who have a passion for archaeology, food, flowers, languages or yoga. Solar eclipse departures and specialist conservation holidays are also included.

Our Family Group holidays usually cater for children from 5 years old. However, experience tells us that children tend to prefer mixing with their own age groups, especially teenagers. That’s why we’ve designated certain departures on our group trips as particularly recommended for teenagers. Whilst we don't restrict younger kids from joining these holidays, the 'recommended for teenagers' departures means there are likely to be other teenagers to share the experience with.

Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.

All Exodus trips are active but some may have different activities scheduled every day. Activities we offer include kayaking in Slovakia, trekking in the Drakensberg, cycling in the Tuscan countryside or canoeing along the Zambezi River.
