"a dream to visit Mum's birth place!"

Thanks to Lucy and Louise myself and my daughter were able to fulfil a dream we have had for quite a few years? with all their help and guidance we were able to experience a holiday of a lifetime by visiting the Island St. Helena it also included a week in Cape Town. The whole trip from start to finish was brilliant we got to see all of the Island thanks to Aaron's Tours, what a lovely young man whose knowledge of the Island was incredible. The Hotel's we stayed in were excellent and all the different stayovers between places had been set up by Lucy which made it all run smoothly.
I will definately be using Far & Wild Travel again in the future.

"An extraordinary, wonderful experience!"

Our trip to Botswana, Zambia and South Africa was simply incredible from start to finish. Lucie listened to what we were hoping to experience and provided us with exactly that in a series of amazing locations. Safari in Sable Alley and Linyanti in Botswana, a chill-out lodge on the Zambezi in Zambia (with a brief visit to Zimbabwe via zip-wire across the Victoria Falls!), as well as time in Jo'burg and Capetown (Camps Bay) were all wonderful - we saw and experienced all that we'd hoped to and more. There were tears of happiness and awe several times - who wouldn't cry if they drove through the Botswana bush, then crested a hill and dropped down into the marshes to suddenly see approx 300 beautiful ellies and 250 buffalo spread out in front of you? Or be able to watch a mumma rhino snuggle with her calf in Zambia?! Not to mention the lions, leopards, warthog, zebra, giraffe, hyena and so much more! Lucie's attention to detail was impressive; particularly when our outbound BA flight was delayed, which messed up the multiple connections we had to make. We let Lucie know while we were on the flight and by the time we'd landed a few hours later, she had liaised with multiple partners on the ground to reschedule all our connections, making sure we got to Sable Alley as soon as was physically possible - it was seamless. We had a truly epic trip and cannot thank Lucie enough for using her extraordinary passion and knowledge of Africa to put such an amazing itinerary together.
Our return trip is already in planning. Thank you so so much Lucie. ❤️

"I didn't realise my high expectations could be so easily exceeded"

For a trip we have been dreaming about for years and putting off for one reason or another, the online choice was always overwhelming. An opportunity came up for a last minute trip for a Safari, following a friends recommendation we were introduced to Lucie. After one quick phone call explaining our 'needs' and 'wants', she provided an itinerary that met with all of them.
The trip was exceptional, everyday a 'pinch-me' moment! I couldn't recommend the service enough.

"Adventure of a lifetime in Kenya"

After struggling for many months to know where to start booking our holiday to Kenya on my own, someone recommended Far & Wild. From then on it was a breeze. My husband and I told Ben what we were looking for and he understood the brief immediately and within a few days it was all booked. We had a 2 week adventure with our 12 and 10 year old visiting Nairobi, The Masai Mara, Laikipia, and Lamu. We all thought the holiday was amazing -a real trip of a lifetime. Far & Wild have a great app which details everything you need to know about your holiday which was really useful even when we were offline in Kenya. The team were also on hand while we were away to answer any questions we had. You really get the personal touching the trip was very child friendly. Definitely recommend.

"Wow….the holiday of a lifetime!"

We were so incredibly lucky to travel around Africa for 6.5 weeks in July & August 2023. We cannot recommend Alistair & Louise at Far & Wild enough. Their knowledge, organisational skills, calmness and being on hand to answer any questions throughout our holiday were incredible.

We covered lots of different things, Safari drives and walking safari in Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia self drive, chilling on the beaches in Manda Bay & Mozambique. All of this with a 14, 12 and 7 year old. The team made us feel at ease with everything we were taking on, even the things outside our comfort zone. Nothing was too much trouble and we will be using them for future family adventures.

A huge thank you from The Park Family!

"Just back from a fabulous self-drive…"

Just back from a fabulous self-drive trip to Namibia. We were met at the airport on arrival and taken to our first night's accommodation for a personal briefing (thanks Angie) and a really useful car-hire handover (thanks Marshall) before the four of us set off on our 16-day trip. The itinerary, accommodation, information and support (which included an emergency pre-paid cell phone!) was excellent. The standard of customer service from all involved was outstanding. We had an amazing holiday and would definitely book with Far and Wild again.

"Amazing Experience in Tanzania!"

We have just returned from our Safari in Tanzania organised by Alistair at Far & Wild to celebrate my 50th birthday. We cannot recommend Alistair and his team enough. Every detail was planned perfectly and the trip far exceeded our expectations. We chose to stay under canvas during our safari but to call our accommodation tents does not do them justice, all were more luxurious to many hotels we have stayed in. Waking up to the beautiful scenery, sunrises and wildlife right outside our door was absolutely wonderful. The area was patrolled all night so we never felt any concern being so close to nature. We were very well looked after by everyone, the food was fantastic and the bed turn down service with hot water bottles when we needed them was a real bonus. All 4 camps we stayed in held the same level of service. We finished off our holiday staying by the beach at Zanzibar where we switched our view from wildlife to the ocean.
Thank you Alistair for making this trip one we will not forget and we have already spoken about organising the next one with you!

"So pleased we chose Ben at Far & Wild"

So pleased we chose Ben at Far & Wild, to help us in our quest to experience our first Safari. We had the most wonderful experience, to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, (marked at both the lodge & hotel with cakes & celebratory singing & dancing for us) Every detail went above & beyond our expectations. Spending 2 nights in Nairobi allowed us to visit the National Park, Sheldrick Centre & The Giraffe Centre. Then the transition on to the Masai Mara, staying at the Leopard Hill camp for 4 nights. Absolutely stunning! I’m sure the accm & staff can’t be rivalled. We feel so privileged to see all of the Big 5, during our drives, with our expert guide Solomon. We also did a Hot Air Balloon with breakfast in the bush. Then on to The Residence in Zanzibar (our suggestion) for 6 nights. This was in itself, 5* luxury as promised, although given a choice again, we would choose somewhere closer to Stone Town. Again, a full itinerary of excursions, including a Stone Town tour, with our expert guide Latifa. A visit to Prison Island with its giant tortoise’s & a half day trip to Sandbanks, with picnic freshly cooked on the beach by our captain. (See pictures on my Facebook profile - Debbie Wright).
If this all sounds like what you’re looking for, then Ben is your man to find & plan it for you 100%.
We won’t hesitate to contact him again for our next venture into the Far & Wild!

"Just amazing!"

Lucie and the team at Far & Wild organised the most amazing trip of a lifetime for us to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Lucie took the time to really understand our requirements and budget and suggested a brilliant itinerary for Botswana. What I particularly loved was that she had visited the camps and could speak from personal experience. I wouldn't have changed a thing! The communication throughout was great and the app really useful. Thank you Lucie, I can't wait to book another holiday with you!

"Far and Wild always read my mind and…"

Far and Wild always read my mind and provide a fantastic service with accommodation perfectly suited to my needs. Forever helpful, remarkably available often at all hours and endlessly patient in finding the perfect fit I cannot praise enough. Their knowledge of Africa is supreme and I highly recommend them for adventurous, bespoke experiences.
