Dear fellow traveling families, 
 
We trust you had a great end of year break! 

Where to Go in 2016? 

It's time to start thinking of where you want to go in 2016. Bookings are well underway for all of 2016 including the December break! 
For our US based families, the world really is your oyster. The US dollar is at its strongest for years against most world currencies, and this means that it is an ideal time to plan that incredible trip you've been dreaming of for years! Whether it's an African Safari, Exotic Asia (including Japan), European Summer or Latin American Adventure, the power of the US dollar ensures that a luxury trip that may have been impossible before is now well within reach. Just ask us! 
France is currently at its best value for years!

For our Canadian families (and also for our Australian, European and Far Eastern families), the drop in the local currency means that some destinations offer more compelling value than others. In Asia, consider Vietnam, Cambodia, Bali, Myanmar and India, all of which continue to offer excellent value. In Europe, there's Turkey (yes - part of Turkey is in Europe), Portugal, the West of Ireland, and Croatia plus Sarajevo. In Africa, South Africa offers some of the best safaris in Africa at a compelling price, while in the Americas, Mexico (a Hidden Quivertree Destination), Argentina, Guatemala and Nicaragua are all wonderful.
Vietnam is an exotic and great value destination!
Hidden Quivertree Destinations: Not all our destinations are profiled on our website. If there is any country that you are interested in traveling to that is not profiled, just ask us. It may just turn out to be a Hidden Quivertree Destination!
Madagascar is a fabulous Hidden Quivertree Destination!


Photos from recent Quivertree trips around the world 
Quivertree families have been very busy recently traveling to all corners of the world. Here are some trip photos! 
 
Mike, Suzanne, Jacob and Lilliana were in Peru. Here they are up in the clouds at Machu Picchu! And below, they're joining in some local fun in Cusco's central plaza. Suzanne told us:"Our trip was great - we had a grand adventure!"
 
 
Patty, Randy, Noah, Adam, Ellie, Jerry and Sherry were in Australia and New Zealand. Here's Ellie with a new friend! Australia, and Kangaroo Island in particular, is a fantastic destination for unique wildlife opportunities.
 
Gaby, Mike, Nicolas and Sofia were in South Africa. Here's Nicolas on safari while below, Sofia is at Cape Town's Boulders Beach which is home to a colony of over 2,000 African penguins!

Peter, Gail, Franklin, Rebecca, Shira and Seth were in Guatemala (below at the always smoldering Pacaya Volcano). Gail said: "Thank you for planning a fantastic trip to Guatemala.  We all loved it.  Guatemala is a wonderful country with a very interesting and rich culture.  The locals could not have been nicer and the food was great. Every single driver and tour guide we had were amazing.  Each had deep knowledge of what they were showing us.  It was so interesting to speak with the local guides about their Mayan culture and also about the history of the country. The experiences we had interacting with the locals are priceless!"
 
Steven, An, Vincent, Matthias and Elyse were in Costa Rica. They told us: "
We absolutely loved our Costa Rica trip. It was a great experience visiting and discovering the country. Thanks so much for being a great tour operator and taking such good care of us!"
 
Danielle, Stuart, Jacob, Noah and Sabrina were in Cambodia and Vietnam. Here they are (above) at the temples of Angkor while below they're sporting the local headgear!
