His life in the public eye as the face of the BBC's natural world and wildlife documentary programmes has made Sir David Attenborough one of the nation's most treasured presenters. At the age of 94 he has just released A Life on Our Planet (in cinemas and on Netflix), which he describes as his 'witness statement'. Specialist operator Families Worldwide has brought together a selection of family wildlife-watching holidays through which families can enjoy their own Attenborough-style experiences in the presence of some of the world's most awe-inspiring creatures. A tailor-made holiday allows families to create the perfect experience for them, to travel within their family bubble and see and do all the things they collectively want to do with expert local guides.
