Going on holiday is always lots of fun and it can be a great opportunity to bond with loved ones, spend time with your family or simply take yourself off for some alone time. There are lots of different types of holidays that you can take, from adventurous safaris to relaxed cruises and which type of trip you choose will partly depend on your budget and partly on what you enjoy doing.

You will need to work out when you want to go away, as the time of the year will affect what activities you can enjoy. Sites such as the Safari Club specialise in African safari holidays and you can even choose to go on a holiday specifically for couples, families, single travellers or groups of friends.

Let’s take a look at the different types of holidays you can take:

1. See the Cherry Blossoms in Japan

Japan is a wonderful part of the world to visit and a holiday to Japan in the springtime offers holidaymakers an awesome opportunity to see the country when it is in full bloom with its cherry blossoms, also known as sakura.

2. Go on an African Safari

African safaris are among the most popular types of holidays to take and they appeal to everyone from families with children to retirees looking for an adventure. You can mix a safari holiday with a beach trip or even go bird watching, and this is a once in a lifetime type of holiday that is well worth saving up for.

3. Take a Cruise

Gong on a cruise can be a great way to see the world from a unique perspective and you can choose to go to any number of destinations, including:

➢ Mexico
➢ The Caribbean
➢ America
➢ Norway
➢ Galapagos
➢ Spain
➢ Greece
➢ Italy
➢ Antarctica

You will need to decide whether you want to enjoy hot or cold weather during your cruise and also work out how many people will be going on your holiday, so you can get cabins that suit your needs.

4. Go on a Road Trip

Hiring a campervan and going on a road trip is one of the best ways to see the world and this is especially fun to do in Australia or New Zealand where there are lots of good road systems to explore. 

5. Climb a Mountain

If you like the idea of doing something really adventurous, then you should scale a mountain on your next holiday. From Mount Kilimanjaro to the Himalayas, there are lots of mountains to hike up and down if you are a keen hiker.

6. Go Diving

Diving is another popular activity to enjoy on a holiday and you can go anywhere from Thailand to Egypt to enjoy a diving holiday.

Choosing what type of holiday to go on can take some time, so think carefully about what you want to do and see during your trip before you book anything.
