A breathtaking park well off the beaten track

Liuwa is home to Africa's second largest wildebeest migration, and the wildlife diversity here is incredible, with a huge cheetah population and plenty of lion

Covering 3,600 km2 of open grassland in Western Zambia, the Liuwa Plain National Park is a truly breathtaking part of the country, well off the main safari circuit but a real joy for any intrepid travellers who make the journey out here. Liuwa Plain is the former hunting ground of Lubosi Lewanika, the King of the local Lozi people whose proclamation helped protect the area from poaching way back in the 1880s. This legacy has continued through protection from the Zambian Government, the renowned NGO African Parks and the private sector to create one of Africa’s longest-running conservation success stories.

The park is home to Africa’s second largest wildebeest migration, a huge cheetah population and plenty of lion. The diversity on offer really needs to be seen to be believed, and a luxury Liuwa Plain holiday really will be one to remember. Indeed, it is likely the only park within Africa where hyena are the apex predator, and it boasts the densest population of endangered wattled cranes amongst the 300 birds in the park, as well as rare antelope such as oribi and roan.

With just one permanent camp within the park, along with the possibility to enjoy mobile camping, this is an incredibly remote area which few visitors know about, let alone visit. A tailor made Liuwa Plain safari is undoubtedly an upscale experience, with expensive flights required to get there and the one camp is amongst the most costly in Zambia, but for visitors who have done plenty of Africa and think there is “nothing else” to do here, Liuwa Plain will surely see a swift revaluation of that thought.

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!
