Highlife British Airways

Another great mention in BA High Life magazine's November 2018 edition. This month they featured our Historical Ethiopia itinerary.

A quote from the article - "Far & Wild Travel's new guided historical route through Ethiopia is nothing less than awe-inspiring."

Adventure Travel Magazine

The Adventure Travel Magazine got in touch with us about another of your Ethiopian tours. They wanted to feature our Wildlife on the Roof of Africa holiday.

The Adventure Travel Magazine loved the fact that we venture deep into Ethiopia on this itinerary, and go high into the Simien Mountains to add a sense of adventure to the tour.

Highlife British Airways

The November BA High Life magazine focused on the great achievements of Bruno Hansen. We teamed up with British Airways to help organise travel for Bruno and his team to Durban to take part in the Adaptive Surfing Championships.

Daily Mail

In October The Daily Mail asked us if they could feature our Uganda & Rwanda "Game & Gorillas" as the best of their alternative destinations, within their inspired escapes for 2019 feature.

The Daily Mail loved the fact that we don't just do the traditional safari destinations, and that everything is tailor made, and made for each customer.

The Times

Far & Wild Travel's first mention in a national newspaper was in The Times. They wanted to feature a great Uganda and Rwanda gorilla holiday. In fact this one.

The Times loved the thought that went into the itinerary and have featured it on their own travel website. A great partnership which we hope will blossom in the months to come.

Far & Wild's first ever association with BA High Life Magazine happened within a month of Far & Wild Travel being created. There's a great article that showcases what Ben (Our director) get's up to in his spare time.
