Wild Frontiers tour of Laos and Cambodia
Had a great time on a recent "Heart of Indochina" Wild Frontiers tour. James, the tour leader, knows both countries so well and he worked brilliantly with the local guides to ensure we had the best experience. We ate great food and stayed in very good hotels but also had a chance to meet people and gain an insight into their way of life. We saw amazing temples, palaces and waterfalls and spent time on the mighty Mekong. A wonderful introduction to these two countries.

Amazing Rajasthan
Jess organised an amazing trip for us in Rajasthan. Every detail was taken care of and everything worked like clockwork. Our driver for the entire trip was a delight and made us feel incredibly safe. Jess organised some quieter locations along the route which were amazing. Especially Sharpuragh Bagh which was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend Wild Frontiers and especially Jess.

South India in 3 weeks
We did the South Indian Odyssey trip in Feb/March 25. What a fantastic experience, from Chennai to Cochin via Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry, Kumbakonam, Madurai, overnight train to Mysore, Safaris at Kabini and finally through Kerala ending with 2 nights on a backwater cruise, it packed a huge amount into 19 days. Our Tour Leader Dileesh was amazing and the driver Ranjith went above and beyond to help us enjoy a wonderful experience. WF are the most innovative and organised of companies, every trip with WF (this is our 6th) has been wonderful. Don't look anywhere elso for India.

Wild Frontiers Gujarat ; Rann of Kutch
This is my second trip to India and Wild Frontiers had many India Subcontinent trips to choose from. Gujarat Rann of Kutch covered UNESCO sites such as the Patan Stepwell to the wildlife of Little Rann of Kutch and to Bhuj to learn the beautiful craft heritage of the many tribes. The importance of the textile industry in Gujarat was explained in great detail by our guide Nirav who simply amazed us everyday of the tour. Not only is he an expert in textiles but he was also a research assistant to Victoria Lautman who wrote Vanishing Stepwells in India. His enthusiasm and passion for his India was evident each and every day! Simply put, our group was ever so fortunate to have Nirav as our guide. The trip is spectacular ! Something different for everyone’s taste !

Wonderful tour of Laos
Excellent trip to Laos with Wild Frontiers. It was exciting to see a country in depth and to focus on less touristy areas, especially with knowledgeable guides and experts. Accommodation was always in the best locations and food was plentiful and varied, always focusing on local cuisine.
I will certainly continue to travel with Wild Frontiers and would highly recommend them

Adventure, exercise and well-traveled group members
We went on the Central American Odyssey (4 countries) on our second trip with Wild Frontiers, which was fantastic! We like the small group feel, the itineraries, definitely the adventure aspects and hiking/walking many days of the trip, and most of all our fellow travelers. WF clients have traveled widely so they are interesting, never flustered and support the other members of the group. We're going on another trip soon!

We used Wild Frontiers to create a unique trip to Patagonia
We used Wild Frontiers to create a private tour to Patagonia. The specialist listened to our brief and provided us with the most wonderful holiday in the most remote areas. It was the most wonderful trip and I would most definitely use Wild Frontiers again.

Colombia ~ the most colourful country I’ve been to!
The itinerary “Viva Colombia” is a two week adventure through this fascinating country. I chose this because it is more extensive than tours offered by competitors and with only one internal flight there was a greater opportunity to see more of the country as we travelled around. Our group was expertly led by Alex who is a first class guide. He looked after us very well, taking time to get to know each of us and ensuring that we gained the most out of the trip. Local guides were informative and were all good. The accomodation was mostly of a high standard providing comfortable rooms, often in interesting buildings or environments. I am very glad I chose to do this trip. With lots of activities and most meals included it is good value too. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in visiting this country.

I took a Wild Frontiers tour called Across the Ganges to Varanasi
The itinerary was great, visiting some remarkable sites that were off the beaten track. We had an excellent guide and stayed in some wonderful hotels. I have been on tours with other mainstream tour companies. Wild Frontiers was by far the best, much higher quality, and I hope to travel with them again.

loved trip to India with Wild Frontiers
My partner and I went on a tour to India with Wild Frontiers. It was a small group of 11 people which made the trip most enjoyable. Our guide was fantastic and we had a full schedule of amazing and diverse experiences in Rajasthan. Many of the places where we stayed were heritage sights which were former royal residences we enjoyed immensely.

"A great way to have an adventure, somewhere you wouldn't have the confidence to travel to otherwise."
We'd had two recommendations for Wild Frontiers and they didn't disappoint. A fab week of adventures, amazing sights, a few off the agenda experiences, lovely accommodation, great company, an energetic and enthusiastic guide ; wouldn't hesitate to recommend WF.

Guatemala with Wild Frontiers
What attracted me to Wild Frontiers Guatemala trip was perfectly tailored itinerary, covering variety of areas and lot of ground. And yet, we never felt rushed during the trip. We had time to stop and sample exotic fruits, regional delicacies and snacks from markets and food stalls. From beautiful nature, archeological sites and different cultural experiences, this trip had it all!

Ancient Egypt tour
Our party of 5 together with Ahmed our excellent guide soon gelled through almost non stop experiences of the wonders of ancient Egypt. While the main theme was on the ancient history Ahmed educated us about most aspects of the modern nation as well as its more modern times.
The accommodation and were varied in style but always excellent. I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail which, in particular, my arrival and the various transits from city to city, were made completely stress free.
Thank you, Wild Frontiers, for another memorable experience.

Above and Beyond the Normal Tourist Experience
We greatly enjoyed our trip (both small group “Slow Boat to Aswan” and tailored extensions) to Egypt and have nothing but praise for Wild Frontiers. The guides were extremely skilled and personable, the group itinerary was thoughtfully planned, the extension-planning process was attentive to our needs, the sites were breath-taking, the group meshed well, and the logistics were very well handled from start to finish. While the trip centered on the great and unforgettable antiquities of Egypt (pyramids, tombs, temples), some of the most special moments were outside the normal tourist experiences… such as sitting with a group of very young girls and admiring the henna designs on their hands, or being in small row boat on the Nile learning how the local people fish, or watching the sunrise alone on the Dahabiya deck, or dancing with the boat crew under the stars, or “helping” a box maker in his work, or observing a camel auction. All this happened as part of the group trip. Our tailored extensions were just as unique and wonderful… such as being the only tourists inside the gloriously decorated tombs built by the ancient Egyptian workmen for themselves, or exploring the small islands below the Aswan Dam by private boat, or visiting a workshop where local women were weaving fine Egyptian cotton into colorful scarves. We strongly recommend Wild Frontiers and can’t thank them enough.

Exceptionally enjoyable Nile cruise with addons
We very much enjoyed the Egypt: Slow Boat to Aswan group tour, to which we added a private tour to Cairo and Alexandria. All very well organised, with comfortable accommodation in both the hotels and the absolutely wonderful Nile sailing boat, the dahabiya, whose crew were amazing and their food exceptional. Very friendly, helpful, well informed guides. Plus the unique WF engagement with the local community, visting villages, markets, not least the famous camel market.

Great trip to india
Went with wild frontiers to India - trip covered a lot of places, both cities but also a chance to visit more rural places places where we engaged with the locals; we also covered a lot of experiences from visiting temples, sampling food at markets, taking crazy rickshaw rides and searching for leopards and tigers. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful along with the local guides used along the way. My second wild frontiers trip.

Northerm Oman
I chose Wild Frontiers as their itineraries are always a bit different, also for their customer support and expert local guides. There were a great variety of experiences to be enjoyed in this amazing and friendly country. I am impressed by the organisation on this and other WF trips, allowing everyone to get the most from the time available.

Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel…Knowingly Endangered My Life !.
Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel knowingly endangered my life and the lives of five other clients on their "Tribal Lands of Papua New Guinea " on the Sepik River in September 2024. We were put in a Dugout Canoe with no Safety equipment not even Life jackets for a two hour trip down a fast flowing Crocodile infested river. It was a high powered boat and it hit an underwater obstacle at one point and the whole boat just shuddered. Luckily no one was actually thrown into the water as if they had been they could have drowned or been eaten alive by Crocodiles, as I have already stated no Life Jackets were provided. The accommodation on the Sepik River was in a "Sweat Box" similar to the type that the Japanese used to Torture "Prisoners of War". Later on we were put on a Single Engine Plane for a flight to the Simbai Valley. At no point was I told that I would be going on a Single Engine plane just as I was never told that there would be no Life Jackets on the Sepik River boat trip. Do clients have to Die before Wild Frontiers do the right thing and provide Life Jackets on this trip and tell clients that they will be going on a Single Engine plane?. Both these facts invalidated my Travel Insurance as I was not made aware of this facts before I travelled. It is not a case that there was not the money to pay for Life Jackets as this trip cost £9000-00 excluding International Airfares. I also suffered from Food Poisoning at the Simbai Lodge accompanied by explosive Diarrhoea for several days. It took me ten days to recover. Only two hotels on this trip were of an acceptable standard compared to the amount of money that I had paid. The Wewak hotel and the Port Moresby hotel. The rest were third world with third world quality and standards. The same applied to the food. The packed lunch at the Goroka Festival was a joke , two slices of white bread , a lettuce leaf, and some type of unidentifiable mush. Fruit salad containing rotten Pineapple and a rotten Banana. Nothing about this trip justified Wild Frontiers charging the extortionate price of £9000-00 !.This trip took place between the 03/09/2024 and the 16/09/2024.

Astonishing (and so smoothly done)!
This past January I went on the Encompassing Egypt tour with an Extension at the end to St. Catherine Monastery. It was truly astonishing (the temples with gigantic figures, the tombs, the reliefs) and we went smoothly from one site to another. It was organized so wonderfully and our guide, Ahmed, was always attentive to how we were wishing everything to be perfect. For me, the architecture and art were so very interesting, and the traveling was quite luxurious and added to the experience! I was, and am, grateful! (St. Catherine was stunning and an adventure... )
