Angkor Wat Vacations

Angkor Wat

Visiting Angkor Wat is a journey back in time, a connection to the enduring spirit of Cambodia, and an encounter with remarkable artistry and architecture. It's a destination that captures the imagination and inspires a profound appreciation for human ingenuity and the enduring legacy of the Khmer Empire.

Visiting Angkor Wat is an extraordinary experience that brings you into the heart of Cambodian history and culture. As the largest religious monument in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it showcases the Khmer Empire at its most impressive. Built in the early 12th century, its towering spires, intricate carvings, and vast galleries tell stories of ancient battles, mythology, and daily life.

Sunrise here is a must. Watching the first light fall across the temple and reflect in the lotus pond is a serene and unforgettable moment. Sunset, with the spires silhouetted against a soft evening sky, is just as beautiful.

Angkor Wat is only part of a wider complex that includes Angkor Thom, Bayon, and Ta Prohm, each offering its own architectural style and atmosphere. Exploring with a knowledgeable local guide adds real depth, helping you understand the symbolism and history behind the ruins.

Despite its popularity, you can still find quieter corners to pause and take in the surroundings. The interplay of light and shadow on the stone carvings makes the whole area a dream for photographers and artists. Angkor remains an active religious site too, and encountering monks going about their daily rituals offers a glimpse into contemporary Cambodian spirituality.

After a day of exploring, Siem Reap is the perfect place to unwind, with lively markets and great food that give you a flavour of modern Cambodian life.

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.

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!)!
