Visit the Lake District, Argentina

Indulge in alpine bliss in the enchanting Lake District

Prepare to be captivated by the majestic lakes, snow-dusted peaks, wild meadows, and lush forests that adorn this picturesque region.

At the heart of the Lake District is the bustling mountain town of Bariloche. Often compared to Switzerland for its Alpine essence and beautiful landscapes, Bariloche sits gracefully on the shores of the stunning Lake Nahuel Huapi, surrounded by towering peaks that reach heights of over 2000 metres. This charming town not only offers a magnificent setting but also serves as an ideal base for a wide range of thrilling activities. As you stroll through its streets, you'll encounter delightful cafés, superb restaurants, and a chocolate lover's paradise. Yes, Bariloche is known as the chocolate capital of Argentina, where every corner boasts chocolate stores filled with handmade delights in every shape and size imaginable.

During the summer months, the options for adventure are endless. Brace yourself for exhilarating white-water rafting along the rushing rapids of Rio Mansa, embark on a horse-riding journey through the Andes or set out on invigorating hikes through the ancient emerald forests of Nahuel Huapi National Park. For the intrepid souls seeking a remarkable view, conquering the summit of Mount Bella Vista will reward you with blissful panoramas. Marvel at the crackling glaciers and cascading waterfalls in Tronador Valley, where pristine landscapes await your exploration. And after a day filled with discovery, indulge in well-deserved relaxation by soaking in the soothing thermal springs.

When winter arrives, Bariloche transforms into a true wonderland, attracting skiers and snowboarders from far and wide. With countless opportunities for exploration and activities offered year-round, there's something for everyone in this enchanting destination.

Not far from Bariloche lie the charming towns of Villa la Angostura and San Martin de los Andes, surrounded by a tapestry of lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and mountains. These delightful towns offer a plethora of activities to enjoy, including salmon fishing, trekking, and mountaineering. Connecting these towns is the renowned Road of Seven Lakes, a route celebrated for its pristine beauty. Along this scenic road, which traverses the Lanin National Park and Nahuel Huapi National Park, you'll be treated to incredible views of seven magnificent lakes and endless enchanting forests. Exploring this route is undoubtedly one of the best ways to discover the natural wonders of the Lake District.

Exploration of the Lake District is made stress-free by its extensive and well-maintained road network. A self-drive adventure allows you to immerse yourself fully in the region's charm. And why stop at Argentina's Lake District when you can seamlessly cross into Chile's Lake District? Combining the two countries allows you to uncover some of the most awesome scenery the region has to offer.

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!)!
