"Excellent experience with this company."

Very efficient when booking our holiday and got us an excellent deal.
Sadly it was cancelled because of Covid and our money was refunded straightaway.

"Far and Wild were a great company to book our trip with in these uncertain times."

Far and Wild were a great company to plan our holiday with. Alistair was great with advice for our planned trip to Kenya in October. Sadly we weren't able to go on our trip due to Corona. We had paid a deposit for accommodation and internal transport as we had booked our own flights. I didn't think we would be able to get our deposit back as we weren't ATOL Protected due to it not being a package trip. Luckily for us Ben and his team went above and beyond what they needed to do and gave us our full deposit back. We are looking forward to a time when we can rebook our dream trip with Far and Wild. Thanks guys!

"Ethiopia trip"

I booked my trip for Ethiopia with Far and Wild. Found everyone I dealt with very helpful and knowledgeable and even when the trip was cancelled due to COVID the staff were still helpful and refunded me in full. Hopefully we can book again in the future!

"Fantastic efforts to make our holiday happen"

I cannot speak highly enough of Far & Wild. We had originally booked a family safari to Botswana & Zambia but Covid meant we had to change our plans. Alistair & Peter worked tirelessly to design an alternative safari that was possible in the Covid environment, and despite both safari camps & airlines constantly cancelling on them they persevered to deliver us an amazing holiday. Thanks guys for going above & beyond - you'll definitely be in our future travel plans, whenever the world opens up to adventure travel again!

"Great service and no quibble refund"

I had a trip booked to Sri Lanka for myself and a friend in September and Far & Wild gave us a full refund of our deposit, no fuss. I am very sorry that we were not able to travel as their assistance in booking the holiday had been excellent with a lot of care and attention given to our itinerary based on our wishes and flexibility in adding in any other locations requested. I have every confidence that it would have been a well-planned wonderful holiday.

"My daughter and I were due to travel to…"

My daughter and I were due to travel to South Africa and Mozambique in July - the borders were shut and BA cancelled our flight - Far and Wild were excellent and kept us informed and have refunded our deposit immediately when requested. We would certainly use Far and Wild again and hope we can travel with them to Africa in the Spring of 2021. An excellent company and I would certainly recommend Far and Wild Travel.

"Friendly, Professional, Expert & Trustworthy"

We have spent the last 14 months eagerly anticipating our adventure in Africa meticulously planned and organised by Peter at Far & Wild.
Victoria Falls,sunset river cruises,camping in Botswana, luxury lodges in Okevango Delta and 5 star hotel in Cape Town. It was truly going to be a great holiday to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Unfortunately Covid19 changed all that and our departure on 21st May had to be cancelled as Africa had closed its borders..
Alistair at Far & Wild went the extra mile in keeping us informed of developments. When it was apparent that the holiday couldn't be changed to other dates there was no hesitation in refunding our money, in fact the money was back in our account within a few days.
Certainly a refreshing change as our holiday in Cape Verde planned with another tour operator that had been cancelled in March resulted in a voucher being issued and we are still chasing the refund. Same with BA and a booking we had with them.
When this pandemic is all over and Africa opens its borders once more we shall certainly be re-booking with Far& Wild Travel. From the initial consultation they have been the consummate professionals throughout.

"Botswana Safari"

My partner, her son and I booked a safari to Botswana to celebrate my 70th birthday using Far & Wild Travel, who went the extra mile to organise the trip of a lifetime. We were due to fly out on 12th May for 19 days.
The trip was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and disappointed doesn’t begin to describe how we felt at not being able to go. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances it was not possible to re-arrange the trip for a later date. However, Far & Wild Travel did not hesitate in giving us a full refund for the trip and we would not hesitate in using them in the future.

"Holiday in South Africa, Zambia and Malawi"

My wife and I had a wonderful 3 country holiday booked through Marc of Far and Wild Travel to see the amazing wild life and beautiful countryside in September 2020. After all Marc's hard work planning the holiday we wanted, we have had to cancel the holiday because of the Coronavirus pandemic. We were most impressed to find that Ben of Far & Wild Travel refunded our deposit monies, in full, without any hesitation or delay.
When it is possible to travel to these countries again without travel restrictions, we will certainly use Far and Wide Travel as they are both professional and trustworthy.

"Amazing holiday to Kenya"

WOW, what a trip we had to Kenya! We had the most perfect 2 weeks organised by Far & Wild. 5 different destinations, all just beautiful, each offering their own unique experience. Highlights included the Arc, the Reteti elephant orphanage, black rhino stalking at Saruni Rhino, leopard & cheetah viewing at Saruni Samburu & bush school & just the general loveliness at El Karama.
The communication between Far & Wild & the local operators was seamless & with no organisation on our part we just gilded from the most fantastic place to the next!
Thanks so much to you all at Far & Wild, I can't recommend you highly enough!
