Unspoiled ecosystems and beautiful sights

Ecuador's Amazon rainforest, though smaller in comparison to Brazil's portion, an ideal place to explore with pristine and raw environment.

Step into the heart of the rainforest with guided jungle expeditions that unveil the secrets of this untouched ecosystem. Accompanied by knowledgeable local guides, traverse lush trails adorned with towering trees, fascinating flowers, and exotic wildlife. Listen to the chorus of birdcalls, spot playful monkeys swinging from branch to branch, and marvel at the diverse plant life that forms the intricate tapestry of the jungle.

Go on a canoe expedition along the winding rivers that crisscross the Amazon rainforest. Glide through the calm waters as the greenery of the rainforest envelops you. Watch for elusive creatures hidden among the foliage, such as graceful pink river dolphins and stealthy caimans basking on the riverbanks. Let the tranquil rhythm of the river guide you deeper into the heart of this natural paradise.

The Ecuadorian Amazon is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering an opportunity to witness countless amazing creatures up close. Keep your eyes peeled for the mischievous antics of monkeys swinging through the trees or the slow-motion movements of sloths clinging to branches. Marvel at the vibrant plumage of toucans and macaws as they dart across the sky. Join guided safari style tours to prime wildlife spots and increase your chances of spotting these captivating animals.

Beyond its natural wonders, the Ecuadorian Amazon is also home to indigenous communities that have lived harmoniously with the rainforest for centuries. Engage with these communities to gain insight into their traditional way of life, ancient customs, and profound knowledge of medicinal plants. Participate in workshops that showcase traditional crafts, such as intricate beadwork or pottery, and try Amazonian cuisine, rich in fresh fish, yuca, and exotic fruits.

As you venture deep into the Ecuadorian Amazon, prepare to be awestruck by the raw beauty of this untouched wilderness. From the symphony of nature's sounds to the vibrant colours that adorn the landscape, every moment spent in the rainforest will leave an indelible mark on your soul. Embrace the spirit of exploration, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of life, and uncover the wonders that the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest holds within its emerald embrace.

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!)!
