“Back home again basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we hoped for - ideally sited, comfortable, in good surroundings and excellent wild life on the door-step and the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sun-rise when view game. viewing started You made us happy and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiast with confidence.”
“Far and Wild organised the most fantastic holiday for us in Botswana. Really it was the trip of a lifetime and we'll never forget it. Everything was superbly well organised, efficient, seamless. We've travelled in Africa in lots of different ways, but with children, this was absolutely the most comfortable. Far and Wild couldn't have done more for us – it was super special.”
“We highly appreciated the Far and Wild organisation during our trip to the rain forest in Brazil. F&W managed to get in touch with a lodge I did not manage to reach myself, thanks to its local contacts. F&W is pro-active, reactive and friendly.”
“We have organised a trip to Botswana with Alistair who provided valuable information and picked perfect accommodations for us. We have been on multiple safaris but the one crafted by Far and Wild was the best among them.
We will definitely not hesitate to use them in the future.”
“Ben and the team helped us put together a fabulous African adventure to remember: from savannah to coast and touring by foot, jeep, air and boat they created a seamless trip with some of the most unique hospitality Kenya has to offer. Thank you! ☺️ 🇰🇪”
“Far and Wild produced a bespoke experience for us in Botswana that captivated all three generations of our family and created memories that will last a lifetime. Our family is closer as a result of this trip. A well consdered itinerary with hand selected camps, thoughtful, pre-deaprture care and fantastic 'on the ground' support in Africa. We would recommend them without hesitation.”
“Planning a trip is never easy, today, with artificial intelligence in our hands as a tool, it seems that creating a travel itinerary is just a click away, however... when you see the result, there is a lack of intelligence and a lot that is artificial, That's when you appreciate Ben and Gemma's work. For our second trip to Africa we decided to visit Tanzania, and like a painter facing a blank page we found hundreds of options, places, itineraries, reviews, photos, discussions and plans, which doesn’t help when making decisions, especially when one is not an expert, Far & Wild was the solution to our problems, and more than presenting us with a travel itinerary, they gave us an experience created and adapted to our demands, tastes and concerns.
Ben interviewed us before we started planning our trip, to get to know our tastes and really guide us to make this trip something unique. Today back home it seems that the days lived were taken from a book, each place was special, lodges, guides, experiences, strangers who become friends along the way, new flavors but above all the indelible memory of a wonderful country and a flawless organization, thank you for everything Ben & Gemma!”
“We dealt with Amanda who was amazing helping us plan a Costa Rica trip for our family. She did a brilliant job tailoring the trip to exactly what we wanted for our family, presenting it beautifully and responding to our questions. She took time to make sure she understood exactly the holiday we wanted. In the end we coudn't go on the trip for un-connected reasons, but we really wanted to highlight what a good job Amanda and Far & Wild did for us. We'll be back to book it as soon as we can.”
“My son and I had a brilliant trip visiting Addis Ababa, Harar and Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia, such different places - and all remarkable in their own right.
In all areas we had interesting and knowledgeable guides and good standard vehicles. What an amazing country! Far and Wild Travel made all the arrangements run smoothly and their team in Ethiopia was great - friendly and attentive, and quick to react when we wanted to change our plan for the second week.
I can't wait to return - there is so much more to see.”
“I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild.
Everything went so smoothly, from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, itinerary was perfect for us and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari so were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy!
I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!”
“Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults).Having been before Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us ,Okonjima Plains camp,which we loved.The quality of accomodation and guiding ,activities ,food and drinks was exceptional throughout.Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes,Shipwreck lodge,Ongava ,Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ),swakopmund (sandwich harbour and Walvis bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )”
“We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest.
It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food in specific if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees celcius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else do!”

“Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,”
“We had a fantastic stay booked by Far and Wild at Almanara on the Kenyan coast. A brilliantly organised holiday which took all the stress out of travel. We will definitely book through them again!”
“Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!”
“Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.”
“It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!”
