Off The Beaten Track

Off the beaten track holidays to satisfy your inner explorer

Adventurously explore the paths less taken

For travellers looking to escape the crowds and explore the road less travelled. Visit vast landscapes, remote islands, and pristine wilderness areas that see only a trickle of visitors each year— ones that also promise rich cultural encounters, incredible biodiversity, and unforgettable adventures for those willing to venture off the beaten track.

Some of our off the beaten track locations qualify as hidden gems in their own right, welcoming only a handful of overseas visitors each year. Sao Tome & Principe, Ethiopia, and St Helena in Africa, Uruguay and Guatemala in Latin America, and Laos and Cambodia in Southeast Asia are some of our favourite destinations in this regard. Each offers a unique experience— exploring untouched rainforests, discovering vibrant indigenous cultures, or witnessing wildlife that few others ever get to see.

Even in more “mainstream” destinations, we can take you far from the crowds to craft something entirely unique. The remote National Parks and lakes of western Tanzania, the wilds of northern Kenya, and the open plains of western Zambia offer safaris as they used to be—under canvas, in complete privacy, and surrounded by nothing but nature. In Ecuador’s cloud forests, Bolivia’s salt flats, or Colombia’s Pacific coastline, you’ll find landscapes just as spectacular as their famous counterparts but with a fraction of the visitors. Likewise, in Vietnam’s central highlands or the remote islands of the Philippines, you can immerse yourself in nature, culture, and adventure far from the typical tourist trails.

We have access to exceptional guides who can arrange private tented safaris in Botswana, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe, as well as mountain experts who can lead you to the summit of dramatic yet lesser-known peaks like Mount Kenya, Mount Meru, and even Venezuela’s iconic Mount Roraima. Our extensive knowledge also allows us to take you away from the crowds in seemingly mainstream destinations like South Africa, Namibia, Peru, and Thailand, uncovering remote deserts, jungle lodges, and hidden cultural treasures where few travellers venture.

With our expertise, deep connections across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia, and meticulous attention to detail, even the most unusual trip request can be arranged. Every trip is planned with seamless logistics, the best local guides, and the reassurance that your adventure will be safe, well-organised, and truly unforgettable.

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!
