Africa is a wonderful continent and a unique experience. Understand and learn about it and you will love it. But it is not always easy to find out how to get there, where the best places are to go, and at what time of year. This is where Farside Africa can help.

Why Africa?

Africa is a hugely exciting destination with endless opportunities from diving with great white sharks to twitching at some of the world's rarest birds, horse riding through herds of animals to camel trekking in the desert, or gliding down a river in a canoe between hippos and crocodiles.

Many people think that Africa is a place of early mornings and bumpy roads and not the ideal relaxing spot for your dream holiday. But think again!

The palm fringed beaches of the Indian Ocean are waiting, as are exotic isles and lakes with snorkelling and diving over pristine reefs, deep sea fishing, sailing on traditional dhows, chilled-out beach retreats and delicious seafood.

Why Farside Africa?

Whether you want to go on your first safari, are seeking adventure or beach relaxation - or a combination of all of these - Farside Africa will create a unique, individual itinerary especially for you.

Through talking to you about where you want to go and what you want to see, and our detailed knowledge of the countries and the lodges, Farside Africa will organise a holiday that is suited to both you and your budget. We favour smaller, owner-run lodges and hotels where you will experience genuine African hospitality and personal service. We will advise you on the best times to travel and arrange your transport between destinations so you can relax and enjoy your holiday.

Farside Africa offers independent, honest advice. We try to visit the lodges regularly, and feedback from our clients helps us keep our information up-to-date.
