   Wild foot put together a bespoke Indian holiday for us . They listened to what we wanted and put together a fantastic tour . It included a visit to an agricultural trade show which was why husband wanted to visit. This was matched with cultural and wildlife experiences of the highest quality. The care taken off us was 5* as were the properties we stayed in. . We have now started inquiries for a new trip for 2027!

   A brilliant company with really dedicated people behind it! After spending a lot of time thinking about our dream holiday to Botswana and Victoria Falls, we got in touch with Wildfoot to help us plan the trip. From our very first call with Michael we knew we’d made the right decision with Wildfoot. His amazing knowledge of different locations and guidance about where and when to travel, was combined with real generosity and care. We had several email exchanges and calls before finally taking the plunge, and throughout he gave unrivalled support. The trip itself was beyond our wildest dreams, with the most amazing environments and wildlife, wonderful people and lodges, and unforgettable experiences. If you’re looking for a great company to help you plan a special trip, these are the people for you!

   A Dream Come True – A Perfectly Orchestrated Falklands Adventure I cannot thank Simon enough for crafting what truly became the trip of a lifetime. My deepest wish was to spend uninterrupted time observing penguin colonies across the Falkland Islands—and what unfolded far exceeded even my highest hopes. Over the course of two unforgettable weeks, we visited four different islands, each with its own personality, wonderful hosts, cozy accommodations, varied terrain, and breathtaking views, oh, and penguins! Did I mention the penguins? The diversity of landscapes and wildlife was beyond anything I imagined. Best of all, we were able to go at our own pace and sit near the penguins for as long as we wanted. Some of my favorite memories: • Waking on the first morning on Carcass Island, stepping outside the lodge to hear the haunting calls of Magellanic penguins gathering at dawn to head out for a swim. • Laughing at the chaotic antics of the black-and-white cormorants in the enormous rockery on Bleaker Island. • A peaceful sunrise walk to the rockhopper colony, where we quietly watched the intricate (and often hilarious) process of nest-building—mostly involving stealing twigs from their neighbors. • A picnic lunch on a dazzling white sand beach as gentoo penguins suddenly popped up from the surf, waddling up the beach as if we weren’t even there. • A wildlife-packed day on Pebble Island, where we saw five species of penguins in a single day—a true highlight. • Spending my birthday on Sea Lion Island, doubled over with laughter as gentoo penguins “walk-ran” to their nests through a gauntlet of burping, belching elephant seals. • And finally, the serene magic of a sunrise at the Orca Pool, where we spotted a pod of orcas hunting just off shore. Every detail of the trip, all the exciting inter-island flights on FIGA, accommodations, meals, transfers--everything, was taken care of so I could fully immerse myself in the experience. Simon’s knowledge, passion, and understanding of what I was looking for made the trip extraordinary. We felt completely supported throughout—especially when our international flights were unexpectedly cancelled. A note for future travelers: there is only one flight per week to and from the Falkland Islands, and that airline proved to be less than reliable and unaccountable. Having a solid support system, like the one Simon provided, is absolutely essential. Because of this, I strongly recommend the two-week itinerary. A one-week trip is risky—you may lose time at the start due to flight delays, and it’s wise to leave some flexibility for extra days in Stanley at the end. This was more than a vacation—it was a very special, joyful, and unforgettable experience. If penguins and wild, unspoiled places are what you seek, have Simon plan a trip to the Falkland Islands for you.

   We worked with Michael at Wildfoot for our Indian safari. He was very patient and accommodating and the trip went off without a hitch. From the minute we landed (driver with a sign to meet us) until the moment we left (rep came to the hotel and took us right into the airport) and every single minute between we were taken care of. The accommodations, transfers, food, safaris - all perfection! We will definitely reach out for next year’s vacation, Thank you, Michael and everyone at Wildfoot!!

   Just got back from a amazing trip to Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica. I meet Simon two years ago at the Travel Show he helped to make my trip of a lifetime come true, going through all the options available covering everything that I was hoping to cover within the trip. Wildfoot (Sylvia) arranged all my flights and transfer which all went seamless which allowed me to just enjoy the trip. I would recommend Wildfoot Travel to anyone who is considering going to Antarctica.

   Wildfoot made the process of booking a trip of a lifetime (to Antarctica) so easy! They helped find a cruise that met all our requirements (including finding us a great deal on the voyage), were communicative, and answered all our questions promptly. I would highly recommend Wildfoot for adventure travel reservations!

   We visited Torres del Paine on a Puma watching safari in January on a trip organised by Wildfoot Travel. This was part of a trip which included Punta Arenas and Easter Island - the holiday of a lifetime without any doubt. This review is solely about Torres del Paine. The 3 day Puma safari involved my wife and I setting out very early before daybreak in a vehicle with a driver and a guide and following the expert Puma tracker Roberto who went ahead to spot the Pumas. Roberto I recognised from Frozen Planet II episode 4 where he had spotted for the BBC camera team. We were delighted to be with a TV star, and he was delighted we recognised him. We had been concerned as to how much we would see as my wife only walks with a stick short distances. On the first day within an hour we were viewing the flamingos at Lake Armaga when we saw in a cave 5 Pumas which we watched as they settled down for a snooze after a night's hunting. Little walking was involved for superb views. After a couple of hours we went back to park HQ for a toilet break, and returned to find we had missed 4 more Pumas who had appeared from the opposite direction and then laid down in the bush and could not be seen. After spending several hours sightseeing, we returned to view the cave and watched the Pumas waking up and getting on with life, On the second day we saw no Pumas but toured the park with magnificent secenary. On day 3 Roberto took just us in his car to private land. Before we even got there we watched 4 pumas walking on the beach at Lake Armaga , and a 5th, hereafter known as Ruth's puma was spotted by Ruth not 5 metres from her, which calmly walked across the road and disappeared into the bushes. In the private land we watched a puma stalking a guanaco but not getting close enough and she eventually settled on a hill top for a sleep. Returning in the late afternoon we eventually tracked her down and from 50 metres away watched her and her cub, and another older female and 2 cubs gathered round a guanaco which she had killed and resting having eaten their fill. What an end to our safari - a 10 puma day. David Attenborough would be amazed.
