People & Communities

Fostering travel with purpose.

By taking a holistic approach to travel we hope to create meaningful connections with people and communities in the places we visit. Our mission is to demonstrate that tourism can and should be a force for good in the world.

We believe in using travel as a force for good. That's why we donate $50 per traveller to one of our partner charities - The Leo Project in Kenya, Amantani in Peru, or Play It Forward in Zambia. Our goal is to donate approximately $75,000 by 2028 to support vulnerable youth through educational and empowerment programs.

The Leo Project partners with primary schools in Kenya to provide literacy training, computer skills education, and other critical services to underprivileged students. So far, they have reached over 2,000 initial beneficiaries.

Amantani is dedicated to supporting indigenous Quechua children in the Peruvian Andes by providing access to education and preserving their cultural heritage. Through community-led initiatives, Amantani empowers young people and strengthens local communities.

Similarly, Play It Forward uses sport and play to advance health and education opportunities for young people in Southern Zambia. Their "sport for development" model aims to create positive, sustainable social change.

As a company, our long-term vision is to support high-impact local charities like these across all our major destinations. This ensures our donations go directly to uplifting communities in the countries our travellers visit.

Team Players

Our company is fortunate to have many team players who want to make a positive impact in our local community and beyond. From running the iconic Lewa Marathon in Kenya to raise money for the conservation organization TUSK to supporting Great Ormond Street Hospital, Great North Run and Carer Support Carlisle and Eden. We have a close connection to the FlipFlopi Project as our founder Ben Morison was involved in creating FlipFlopi and is now on the Board of Trustees.

Our Difference

The Far & Wild Community...

We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.

The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
