Delve into the enchanting depths of the Amazon Rainforest

Go on an extraordinary adventure in the world's largest and most enigmatic rainforest, the Amazon. With its wide biodiversity and unparalleled natural beauty, this is a journey that will forever remain etched in your memory.

Welcome to the Amazon rainforest, an unparalleled natural wonder covering an astonishing 1.7 billion acres of pristine wilderness. Encompassing nearly half of Brazil, this vast expanse of lush vegetation captivates the senses with its swamps, winding tributaries, and dense forests. Nestled within this majestic landscape lies the awe-inspiring Amazon River, the world's second largest river, formed by the merging of the dark, murky waters of the Rio Negro and the sandy beige waters of the Rio Solimoes. This extraordinary phenomenon is just one of the many highlights awaiting you in the heart of the Amazon.

The Amazon rainforest teems with an abundance of extraordinary and mystical creatures, boasting over one third of the Earth's entire animal species. Its biodiversity is simply astounding, with estimates suggesting that it holds the largest number of insects and freshwater fish in the world, as well as over 1,500 species of birds and more than 430 mammal species. For wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers, the Amazon is an unrivalled expedition paradise.

Navigating this dense forest and its murky waterways can be a challenge when it comes to spotting its elusive inhabitants. That's why we highly recommend the expertise of a biologist guide to enhance your Amazon experience. These knowledgeable guides possess invaluable insights into the rainforest's ecology, ensuring you make the most of your adventure amidst the vibrant tapestry of flora and fauna.

As you embark on your Amazonian safari style expedition, the city of Manaus awaits, serving as the unexpected gateway to this magnificent rainforest. Despite being nestled amidst the jungle, Manaus is a bustling metropolis, home to millions of people. During the rubber boom, it stood as one of Latin America's most affluent cities and boasts the world-famous Opera House, a charming historical landmark that should not be missed.

To truly immerse yourself in the wonders of the Amazon jungle and its colossal rivers, we recommend staying at one of our carefully selected Ecolodges or embarking on an expedition river cruise. From spying on the secrets of the dense rainforest to canoeing through flooded forests and exploring the enchanting riverbanks in search of wildlife, each day will be filled with captivating discoveries.

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!)!
