"Phenomenal - 5 STARS"

We don't usually use tour operators, but Far & Wild came highly recommended and we thought we'd push the boat out for our honeymoon. We have just returned and had the most INCREDIBLE trip. It was honestly the holiday of a lifetime. Ben and Louise both delivered on the most spectacular scale with seamless organisation and the best rooms in the best accommodation we have ever been to. We are lost for words! I can't recommend enough.

Thank you so much Ben & Louise for organising the best honeymoon anyone could ask for.

"We took the train from Nairobi to…"

We took the train from Nairobi to Mombasa which takes 5 hours. This is very reasonably priced and is a perfect way to arrive in Tsarvo Reserve for a two day safari. Far and Wild provided excellent drivers and cars and guides in the Park and we were very impressed with the Company as a whole.

"Brilliant expertise and customer service"

Lucie Thaxter was great in helping us develop our safari and beach plan. We wanted a quieter safari and then some culture, followed by relaxation. We visited Naboisho Valley in Maasai Mara then transferred to Zanzibar to spend time in Stone Town then onto the east coast for rest and relaxation on the beach. Every single transfer and thing worked perfectly. The quality of the accommodations and the whole experience was absolutely top notch! We had THE MOST amazing time on safari particularly and loved Kicheche Valley Camp with only 6 tents and boundless wildlife all around us. We saw and experienced so much that it will stay in our memories forever! A balloon trip across Mara was also a highlight worth shelling out for. We would thoroughly recommend using Lucie and the Far and Wild team. So much expertise and knowledge from a very customer focussed team who are just excellent to deal with. I would thoroughly recommend using them - they are also a bit cheaper than the bigger companies and you'll probably get a better more personal service too! Thank you Lucie!

"Trustworthy, Experienced and Generally Fantastic Travel Agents"

My wife and I booked our honeymoon to Kenya (Safari) and Seychelles (Beach) through Alistair Walls and his team at Far & Wild, and we could not be happier with every facet of our experience. We came to Alistair with a general concept of what we wanted to do ("safari for an adventure, followed by the beach for relaxation") and Alistair knew right away where to steer us. Mind you, we had absolutely no experience traveling in southern/central Africa; but Alistair made us feel extremely comfortable in making choices (his having personally visited the places he suggested), and in hindsight we would not have done our safari any other way. His suggestion for the Seychelles as a beach destination (one with which we, like most Americans, were not very familiar with), as opposed to other available options, turned out to be the absolute best thing we could have hoped for. The booking process was seamless (the prices they are able to obtain for accommodations and experiences are excellent as well), and they provided us a wealth of information and tips for our travel which had us well-prepared for our departure. And though every part of our trip went seamlessly - every hotel beautiful, every transfer on time, etc. - we know that, had we had a problem, they would have been available to help us. We cannot recommend Far & Wild, and especially Alistair Walls, highly enough. Even if your are not UK-based, they are the best imaginable travel agents, especially for travel to Kenya and the Seychelles! Book with them! You will not regret it!

"Excellent service in São Tomé and Príncipe"

This was the first time we’d used Far and Wild. Recommended by Responsible Travel, Alistair understood immediately what we were looking for from our trip to São Tomé and Príncipe in January 2023. We’re usually independent travellers, but knew that, going off the beaten track, we needed guidance and advice. Alistair and his team were responsive, efficient, courteous and informative. Our two week holiday was well organised, every bit of the itinerary working well. The Vamoos app was particularly useful for managing the itinerary and paperwork. Thank you Far and Wild. We wholeheartedly recommend you.

"Self drive from Cape Town to Namibia"

We ended up not travelling due to unforeseen circumstances, but still wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alistair - he was friendly, courteous, full of ideas, and the fastest responder to emails that I have worked with. Thank you again Alistair.

"Totally reliable tour operator"

We originally booked our Southern Africa tour in 2019, pre-pandemic. We finally went Sept22. At the time of booking Alistair suggested a couple of add ons to the tour to make our experience even better, these add ons were not hugely expensive and were so worth it. Throughout the time between booking and us going, Far and Wild, specifically Alistair, were absolutely brilliant. They happily delayed our trip a couple of times as we were uncertain about travel restrictions etc, they kept us informed of any changes to itinerary or costs, and were especially good when one of the airlines for an internal flight went out of business. Alistair worked very hard to find an alternative airline at no extra cost to us.
During the trip all our bookings, transfers and experiences were spot on. We would absolutely recommend Far and Wild as a tour operator and will definitely be using them again

"OUTSTANDING company."

We had an outstanding experience with far and wild. I’ve been recommending the company to my friends.
From the outset we had personal service.
Ben phoned me after my initial online enquiry and spoke to me for over half an hour to work out what kind of holiday we wanted, our tastes, budget and hotel type. He listened very well and captured the type of experience and accommodation we were looking for.
I was so excited About our holiday and then wondered if it could deliver On my hopes but it actually exceeded our expectations.
We stayed at Saruni Mara lodge in the Masai Mara north conservancy.
It was truly delightful, run by Masai people who were a big welcoming family and outstanding game viewing. Ben has recommended a conservancy and he was right.
We then flew to Zanzibar and thoroughly enjoyed some relaxation.
Everything went to plan. Every pick up was on time. The tickets were all correct. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company. If you are considering them, then go for it. I’ve never had personal service like it.

"Fantastic holiday"

Fantastic holiday. Ali and F&W team nailed it. Give him a brief and let them do the rest.

Sosian, Saruni Samburu, Saruni WIld & Peponi all great.

"Honeymoon in Dubai, Safari and Seychelles…"

We got in touch with Ben at Far and Wild and the trip he arranged for our honeymoon was more than we could have imagined! We only organised a few months before but Ben listened to all of our requirements and planned a trip of a life time with time in Dubai, Kenya (Saruni and Masai Mara), followed by the Seychelles. Planning a trip by yourself can be overwhelming with so many options however Ben was able to suggest places for us to stay based on what we were looking for so it made the booking process easy. Everywhere we visited was extraordinary with a high level of service and an equal measure of activities and relaxing. We would definitely recommend booking with Far and Wild. Thank you!
