"Amazing holiday in Sao Tome and Principe"

Had fantastic support from Far and Wild for our recent family holiday in Sao Tome and Principe. They were recommended to us by Responsible Travel, but I chose them as Alistair had visit STP a few months before and seemed to really understand the place. All the recommendations they made were spot on and all the arrangements worked - not straightforward in a country with little tourist infrastructure. In particular, the day before we flew out, he worked hard to ensure our visas came through in time from the embassy. Will definitely be using them again. Very happy to recommend

"Alistair and the team arranged an…"

Alistair and the team arranged an incredible trip for us to Namibia. Having had to wait 2 years for the trip due to COVID the wait was definitely worth it.

They arranged a fantastic self drive holiday that took in all the spectacular sights staying in memorable lodges with some unbelievable scenery and seeing all the fantastic animals.

I couldn't recommend Namibia as a destination highly enough.

I wouldn't hesitate to use Far & Wild again, thanks again to the whole team.

"Honeymoon to Kenya and Mauritius organised by Ben"

Thank you Ben for a fabulous holiday! From start to finish it was an incredible experience. Three very different places to stay, and all very wonderful.

Saruni Samburu Lodge, Kenya - surreal location - it is hard to describe the whow factor here. Fantastic guides and fabulous food - the whole place and the hospitality makes you feel like you are princes and princesses! Only very slight draw back is the wine wasn't great, but this is hardly noticeable when there is so much else to enjoy and experience here.

Lewa House, Kenya - Cosy, hospitable and friendly. Gorgeous location, lots to do and the hosts are fantastic and fascinating company and really look after you. Of the three lodges, this is the one we are most likely to return to - I really didn't want to leave!

Constance Prince Maurice, Mauritius - I have never wanted to book fancy large hotels as they can be quite impersonal, however Ben persuaded me, and this place is unforgettably idyllic. Somehow they offer the most incredibly kind friendly and tailored service. The honeymoon package was unreal. Testament to this is the number of couples we met there who were returning to celebrate their wedding anniversaries years after their original honeymoon there - I can see the temptation! The food and wine is simply superb - second largest wine cellar in the Indian Ocean, with food to match! I would note that the external activities booked through the hotel cost more than booking them privately.

We couldn't have asked for anything more from our honeymoon. Even our flight delay in Nairobi was made memorable thanks to Ben picking this up last minute and organising a driver to take us round Karen Blixen's house and one of the slums.

We are still in awe at some of the locations and the wildlife we have seen. Thank you again Ben for you fantastic advice and for organising it all for us so well. You went above and beyond to make the whole honeymoon truly magical. A really special trip!

"Sao tome & Principe - well worth the wait"

Alistair sorted a trip for us to Sao Tome & Principe for October 2021. We were uber careful to comply with all the UK, Portugal (transit) and STP Covid requirements so were surprised to be denied boarding at Heathrow for an unrelated reason - the visa requirements had been changed but no-one had told the UK govt website, the STP govt website or any travel agents! Nothing could be done for October, but Alistair fought hard with the DMC, the hotels and even with the airline - often via his multiple Embassy connections - to secure us credits for everything. Thanks to that, we were able to go on our trip in April and are delighted to report that Sao Tome & Principe is a magical destination. Alistair's recommendations were spot on and our whole family had a fantastic time. I'd recommend Far & Wild for any similar African adventure, and beyond too. Thank you!

"Super Support…"

We booked our third safari three years ago with Far and Wild, then Covid hit and we postponed-twice as it happened- until March this year. In the meantime, we had also decided to take our twin daughters along with us. Flights changed, flight times changed and through it all Alistair supported us every step of the way. The flight booking changed, but we were never worried as Alistair kept us informed and up to date. When our daughters flight arrived late and we were worried about transfers, we had names and phone numbers but were met off the plane, whisked through Joburg airport and on to Fed Air.
The holiday itself was amazing. Ulusaba is a phenomenal place to visit and the guide,Tom, tracker, Sepho, and all the other staff were wonderful. Our daughters, first time safari goers, are hooked!
12 Apostles hotel in Cape Town was also a beautiful hotel( be aware it’s a little outside Cape Town, but has a free shuttle, which we had to ourselves like a private taxi). We had 10 wonderful nights and then tried to fly home with BA. We flew with them as theirs was the only direct flight back from Cape Town. Our daughters flew back to Joburg and flew back with Virgin ( all sorted by Alistair). They beat us back by 14 hours!
BA were useless. Our flight was delayed, we had no info. Thank goodness for Alistair in the end of the line to reassure although even he could not fix the worst airline in the world.
Far and Wild- fabulous agents!

"Highly recommend"

Outstanding holiday post COVID to The Madikwe Safari Lodge. It was worth the wait.

We have had to postpone this trip twice and Far and Wild have been absolutely brilliant to deal with during that time. Nothing was too much trouble.

Madikwe Safari Lodge was beyond our expectations: amazing service, incredible food and to top it all off we saw plenty of game.

The only downside is coming back! Highly recommend it.

"Thank you Far and Wild Travel"

We booked a holiday to Namibia through Far and Wild Travel. It was a long time coming due to COVID 19 but having just got back we realised just how good it was. Big Blue Skies, enormous Sand dunes, The Skeleton Coast, and more animals than you could poke a stick at in Etosha - lion, rhino, elephants, loads of antelope too. Just a really good adventure in our own 4 x 4 . Good times. Thank you Far and Wild, we will be back.

"Just returned from a safari holiday…"

Just returned from a safari holiday which we booked through Far and Wild. Everything went smoothly thanks to the guys at Far and Wild. They were there to support us before we left arranging Visas, making sure we had the right PCR documents and tests and that there was someone to meet us at the other end. My wife was a little bit edgy about going after all thats happened with Corona but we had a blast saw everything we wanted to see and more. The recommendations were spot on and could fault anything - apart from the fact I put on about a stone due to the outstanding catering everywhere we went.

"Amazing holiday to Kenya hadn't been…"

Amazing holiday to Kenya hadn't been for over 20 years and wow was I impressed. Stayed at Ol Seki Mara Camp which was just mind blowing. We then finished off with time on the beach in a place called Diani staying at the Almanara Hotel. Great combo - super trip. Would go back in a heart beat.

"Excellent service from a caring company"

Excellent service from a caring company. Due to travel in May 2020 they reorganised everything to October 2021, now we can't go to Namibia, Red List, they have given us a FULL Refund, no quibble and Ash immediately in our bank. First class service. We will use them again. Steve Snowden
