Alila Fort's location makes it the ideal destination for exploring both Jaipur and Delhi.

Built over 200 years ago, Alila Fort was originally used as both a defensive fortress and as a home for some of Rajasthan's royalty. The original structure of the fort, such as the arched windows, turrets and the dungeons have remained the same, giving guests a feeling of stepping back into India's past, to the time of the Maharajas. However, the hotel also contains all of the modern amenities to ensure that travellers have a comfortable stay. This hotel is located in the village of Bishangarh and is easily accessible from both Delhi and Jaipur, being approximately one hour from Jaipur's airport. Children are welcome.

Accommodation consists of 59 rooms, with a variety of different options to choose from, including both rooms and suites which are all spacious and beautiful, with excellent views of the surrounding landscapes. Included in each room is a large en-suite bathroom, a television, a mini bar and a day bed. Main areas include several restaurants and lounges, a swimming pool and sprawling gardens. There is also a spa located in what used to be the fort's dungeons.

Activities are tailor made by the Leisure Concierge Team, who plan trips and excursions according to each individual guest's personal preferences. Alila Fort is the perfect base for those wanting to explore Jaipur, and a stay can be designed to focus on a particular aspect of the famous city, such as history, astronomy, agriculture and the environment.You can also take part in a cooking experience, where you will learn how to prepare a traditional meal from scratch, an excursion that includes going shopping for the ingredients and learning about the locally produced vegetables used. There is a kid's club at the hotel that offers indoor games and activities

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 !!
