Adventures await for those itching to explore

- By Lynn O’Rourke Hayes FamilyTrav­el.com

Our travel options are expanding. From luxury bucket-list journeys to adventures closer to home, families are opting to explore once more. Here are ideas to consider.

The ultimate African adventure:

This epic African adventure combines curated experience­s at five Four Seasons properties. The collection includes the

Safari Lodge in Serengeti, as well as pool villa resorts in Mauritius, Seychelles and Seychelles at Desroches Island, as well as a luxurious hillside retreat in Johannesbu­rg. Guests can mix and match adrenaline-filled game drives on the Serengeti with beach days on pristine Desroches Island, resort adventures in the Seychelles, an ocean-front round of golf in Maurititiu­s, and memorable culture and culinary moments in Johannesbu­rg.

Roar & Snore Safaris: For something closer to home and less expensive, families can spend the night at the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park. Commune with the critters after hours and get comfortabl­e in the Roar & Snore campground. Families can visit nearby animal areas, join guided walks and take part in a campfire program.

Suite stays with your pets:

Many families adopted pets during our extended time at home. Now, with travel possible again, it may not be comfortabl­e to leave Fido behind. There is no need. Take advantage of the Lab of Luxury package at the Conrad Washington D.C., where furry guests can check into a Bark View Suite stocked with an Hermes collar and leash, a Tiffany water bowl and treats. Later, they can expect a chauffeure­d afternoon with their favorite humans to three dog-friendly wineries.
