Vietnam, Loas & Cambodia Adventure

Discover Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia on a two-week adventure through ancient temples, vibrant cities, scenic rivers and rich cultural traditions, ideal for curious travellers.

This two-week itinerary takes you on a compelling journey through Southeast Asia’s most iconic destinations, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, offering a blend of ancient heritage, lush landscapes and immersive culture. From the hustle of Hanoi’s Old Quarter and classic rice terraces of Sapa, to the ancient temples of Angkor and the laid-back Mekong River lifestyle, this trip reveals a rich tapestry of experiences.

Our Vietnam specialist, Nia, says: “Few itineraries showcase Southeast Asia’s heritage and natural beauty quite like this. Imagine cruising through limestone karsts in Ha Long Bay, walking with monks on Luang Prabang’s streets, and witnessing the sunrise over Angkor Wat, all in one seamless journey. It’s a deeply layered introduction to the region.”

Begin with bustling Vietnam. Explore Hanoi’s colonial architecture, sample street-food favourites, and take a scenic overnight cruise through Ha Long Bay’s limestone isles. Next, transfer to central Vietnam for the historic Hoi An and Hue, discovering cultural heritage, ancient temples, and rural life. Then, fly to Laos and settle into the riverside serenity of Luang Prabang. Here, experience early-morning alms-giving with local monks, make offerings at sacred temples, and relax by the Mekong’s banks. Conclude your journey in Cambodia, where the dawn light sets historic Angkor Wat alight and hidden jungle temples await your exploration.

Perfect for curious travellers, couples or families who want depth without haste. Ideal for those wishing to explore a variety of landscapes, cultures and histories in one rewarding itinerary with expert guides, local connection, and personable pace throughout.

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. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! 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, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

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 Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. 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 (and I believe are) 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, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - 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. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. 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!)!
