Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 127 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, often describing their holidays as the best they've ever had. Customers consistently praise the well-planned itineraries, which often include off-the-beaten-path locations and a rich mix of cultural and historical sites. The service is frequently highlighted as professional and efficient, with many appreciating the seamless organization from initial inquiry to the completion of their trip. Reviewers also commend the quality of the accommodations, often noting unique and carefully selected hotels, and the exceptional knowledge and friendliness of the local guides and drivers. However, some customers mentioned issues with communication regarding dietary restrictions, finding that information was not effectively relayed to local guides. A few other people also felt that a last-minute change to a starting hotel impacted their personal travel plans, and one reviewer noted a yurt camp near Lake Issyk Kul was dirty and unhygienic.

This was our 1st trip with wild frontiers. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made our tour varied and interesting. Being a small group we blended together very well. Albania as a destination was a revelation. Would definitely consider travelling with wild frontiers again.

My most recent tour with Wildfrontiers

The tour involved Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. It was amazing and full of many cultural aspects. My tour guide Dario is the best in the industry. Wish every tour I took to travel the world had wonderful people who make it possible for us to travel.

Great hotels in the right places each with their own ‘history/features and enjoying local food. Superb local Egyptologist Hanan as our guide.

Beyond wonderful!

This truly was a trip of a lifetime (so good I need to do more!). A fabulous and imaginative itinerary exposed us to amazing variety and diversity of landscape, animals and people – from bustling town to the fabulous crater and the sweeping plains. We ticked off the big 5 and saw a huge variety of beautiful animals and birds – many up close and personal! Visits to local tribes, a coffee plantation and Africa’s largest art gallery added yet more value to the experience.
The whole trip was perfectly paced – ‘organised with wiggle room’. We never felt rushed and equally never bored. Highly knowledgeable guides, fabulous accommodations, wonderful food, great service – all in excellent company (the perfect group size).
Tanzania truly is a wonderful country. Wild Frontiers did it, and us, extremely proud.

Tanzania: Safari, Serengeti & Maasai Heartlands.

Our Tanzania trip was an experience that far exceeded any expectations.The sheer scale of the landscape and numbers and variety of wildlife on the ground, on the water and in the air was incredible. It was our first time seeing Cheetahs up close in the wild and a large pride of lions giving a display of their interactions with each other. This was interspersed with local cultural visits such as the Hadzabe tribe and Masai which were truly exceptional. All these experiences and our stress free enjoyment were made possible by the knowledge and planning of Wild Frontiers. The local guides were simply brilliant in every aspect. Meeting new friends during the trip was a real pleasure and an added bonus. We cant recommend Wild Frontiers enough.

A tour of Jordan

Very well planned small group trip. Every day was filled with interesting and unusual activities from ancient sites to desert experiences. There were opportunities for hiking and never felt rushed
Accommodation was comfortable and varied.
We had the same (local) guide and driver all trip.
I would recommend this company

Highlights of Ancient Egypt

Just had a wonderful trip to Egypt. Everything was beautifully organised and the hotels were excellent. I feel we saw all the wonders previously experienced only on TV or in books in just 8 days. The tombs, temples and local sights were so interesting, made all the more so by our enthusiastic and knowledgeable Egyptologist guide. He was also fun and helpful. Our group was small and my fellow travellers very nice and easygoing.

Diverse, interesting and amazing!

Jim at Wild Frontiers put together an amazing and diverse custom/private trip for us to Singapore, Malaysia and Borneo. The entire trip was five weeks. Every detail was taken care of from transfers/flights, accommodations, activities, experiences along with recommendations for meals and free time. We couldn’t be more satisfied. Jim took the time to work with us to make sure our itinerary met our goals and desires.

Superb Trip

I thoroughly enjoyed our small group tour to Uzbekistan - something I have dreamed about. Starting with our superb highly knowledgeable and approachable guide, a well balanced program of cultural experiences, historical sites and culinary feasts, this trip was exceptional - I didn't want it to end. We also had ample time to explore ourselves and discover the magic of the silk road Wild Frontiers provides excellent customer service which is an additional benefit. ( suggest arriving a day or 2 prior to explore Tashkent - especially the underground and get acclimated)

Unbelievable journey to Uzbekistan

Being able to experience Uzbekistan with a small group and a local, knowledgeable guide made the trip even more special. The Wild Frontiers trip was one of the best trips I've ever taken, and I've been to 51 countries. I refer it to the Five M's....Mosques, Madrassas, Markets, Museums and Meals!

Tailor made perfection

From Jen and Kathy
Our South India tailor-made, solo journey with our own driver, and guides when needed, put together with the help of Jess from WF, was a perfect combination. The itinerary was busy and interesting with a great mix of on-the-go exploring and down time.Our guides were experienced and knowledgeable; our driver amazing and reassuring; and our accommodation generally ritzy and comfortable.
The highlights were many: from the splendor of ancient temples in Tamil Nadu, tigers and elephants in Nagerhole National Park, cruising the balmy backwaters of Kerala, to walking in the well trodden footsteps of long-age traders from distant lands in ancient Kochi.

The trip with Wild Frontiers Taj

The trip with Wild Frontiers Taj, Temples and Tigers on 8 March was fabulous . The Taj Mahal was as magical as ever but the highlights of the trip were seeing four tigers a mother and three cubs as largess her, a black bear and her cub in Rathambore Reserve and being in Jaipur for the Holi festival . We were very lucky to see the tigers as they had a kill and were busy sharing it. We joined in the Holi celebrations and got covered in coloured talcum powder. We saw several palaces and forts and stayed in some heritage hotels as well as visiting two villages. Out guide Bhopal was very knowledgeable as were the local guides and he made the trip exceptional. We saw the real India . It was well worth the trip and heartily recommend it

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!
