Safari and Beach Holidays

Beach and bush

Combine two different destinations to create the perfect safari and beach holiday.... the best of both worlds!

Begin your holiday with an exhilarating safari experience taking in the sights and sounds of the African bush. Spot incredible wildlife from the Big Five to cheetah chases or the great migration, a safari is sure to give you memories that will last a lifetime. Next up, it’s time to relax on Africa’s incredible coastline, picture-perfect white sand beaches framed with palm trees and crystal clear seas teeming with fish.

Where you go is entirely up to you. Kenya and Tanzania pair well with the Kenyan coast or Zanzibar, but it is equally possible to fly further afield to the exotic islands of Mauritius or the Seychelles. The Kruger in South Africa teams well with either the beaches along the garden route or with the tropical islands off Mozambique, which also work well with Botswana. Malawi is home to Lake Malawi which provides an alternative beach option, or if you fancy a different type of safari why not try Madagascar?

At Far and Wild, we create each and every safari and beach trip from scratch so we can tailor your holiday to exactly what it is that you are hoping to do. You might be planning a classic 4x4 safari experience or you might want to get deeper into the African bush and go rhino tracking, you could glide down the Okavango Delta in a mokoro (or float over the Mara in a hot air balloon), feed giraffes breakfast at Giraffe Manor, or perhaps watch the great wildebeest migration, your heart in your mouth as the first wildebeest leaps into the crocodile-infested Mara river in the hunt for greener pastures. Fancy something a little different? You could go gorilla trekking in Rwanda or spy lemurs in Madagascar. The possibilities are endless.

You might also be surprised by what a variety of beach options there are too. Stay in an underwater room on Pemba Island watching the fish from your bed, go Robinson Crusoe on the remote private Fanjove Island, try your hand at Kite Surfing on the Kenyan coast, take a sunset cruise in a dhow (a traditional African fishing boat), try your luck fishing, take a whale and dolphin watching safari or perhaps enjoy a camel ride down the beach. Of course, there are also endless snorkelling and diving opportunities, including with whale sharks which migrate up the Kenyan coast.

From ultra-luxury lodges overlooking the Mara to treehouses in Sabi Sands and remote tented camps in Zambia, small family-run beach boutiques, large family villas or five-star luxury hotels, there is a vast range of accommodation options available and something for everyone.

So to start planning your perfect safari and beach holiday, give our team of specialists a call today.

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!)!
