Farside Travel

read moreAt Farside Africa we don't believe an authentic holiday to Africa can be packaged. With our years of experience and detailed knowledge of the countries and the lodges, we make it our aim to create something special and at no extra cost than booking direct. We favour smaller, owner-run lodges, guest houses and hotels where we believe you will enjoy a genuine and unforgettable African experience. Africa is a wonderful continent and has so much to offer but it can be daunting knowing where to start.

Oman, at the foot of the Saudi peninsula, has retained its ancient traditions to spectacular effect, giving this desert sultanate a thrilling mix of culture and adventure.

Malawi combines well with a safari in Zambia.
