What can I say….my son and myself had the most wonderful time in Kenya thanks to the first-class itinerary that Ben and Louise put together for us. We spoke with Ben many times to ensure he ‘got it right’. This was our 2nd visit to Kenya, and it certainly lived up to our expectations and memories. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff; we cannot have been looked after any better. I would highly recommend Far and Wild; they are so knowledgeable and have personally visited the lodges and areas. We are already planning another visit, and we cannot wait.
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, the 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 we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. 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 there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.
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 a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. 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 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 does!
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 was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout 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. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.
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.
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!,
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!)!
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!

FAQs About Your Family Holiday
Planning a Family Holiday? Our experts share advice on everything from what to pack, when to go, to tips for families, covering the questions we get asked the most.
What makes a Far & Wild family holiday different?
We design family holidays around real-life travel, not rigid itineraries. Every trip is tailored to your family’s ages, interests and energy levels, with thoughtful pacing, flexible activities and places to stay that genuinely welcome children. Our team knows these destinations first-hand, so we balance adventure, comfort and downtime, while keeping the logistics smooth and stress-free.
How active do family holidays need to be?
They don’t need to be active at all, unless you want them to be. Some families love walking, wildlife and hands-on experiences, while others prefer a slower pace with pool time and easy excursions. We design trips that allow for flexibility, with options to dial activities up or down depending on how everyone is feeling on the day.
Do you include flights in family holidays?
International flights are usually priced separately, as this gives families more flexibility with timings, routings and airline choice. We can, however, advise on the best flights for travelling with children and coordinate everything so the trip runs smoothly from start to finish.
How do you keep children engaged during the trip?
We focus on experiences that naturally capture curiosity, such as wildlife encounters, cultural activities, simple adventures and time outdoors. We also build in space to relax, knowing that downtime is just as important as the highlights. The aim is a holiday that feels rewarding for parents and exciting, without being overwhelming, for children.
Are family holidays sustainable and responsible?
Yes. We choose experiences and partners that support local communities, protect natural environments and travel responsibly. This often adds depth to a family holiday, giving children a better understanding of the places they visit. We’re also part of 1% for the Planet, supporting conservation and community projects through every trip we plan.
How far in advance should we book a family holiday?
For school holiday travel, we recommend planning well ahead, ideally nine to twelve months in advance, especially for popular destinations and family-friendly lodges. That said, we’re always happy to explore what’s possible if you’re planning closer to departure, and we’ll be clear about your options from the outset.
ticity, and we prioritise those that offer romance, privacy, and special touches for honeymooners.How much do family holidays with Far & Wild typically cost?
The cost depends on your chosen destination, duration, accommodation style, and experiences. Our bespoke approach allows us to work within your budget, balancing luxury and value. We provide detailed quotes and options, ensuring transparency while creating a family holiday that feels personalised, and worthwhile.
Can we combine multiple destinations on one family holiday?
Yes, multi-destination family holidays can work well. We can seamlessly combine beach, safari, city, or cultural experiences into one journey, with carefully planned logistics to maximise your time and minimise travel stress. Each segment is designed to complement the next, creating a cohesive and memorable experience.
Do you offer family holiday planning advice for different seasons?
Absolutely. Our experts provide guidance on the best time to visit each destination for weather, wildlife, festivals, and peak periods. We can suggest optimal months for sun, surf, cultural experiences, or wildlife encounters, ensuring your family holiday matches your ideal season and personal preferences.

Simply get in touch with our team to discuss your vision, dates, and interests.
