About Wild Frontiers

In this short film the story and ethos behind the award-winning travel company, Wild Frontiers, is explained.

At Wild Frontiers, we believe travel can be a powerful force for good; breaking down barriers, dispelling myths and bringing people from different cultures and communities together. Our team of experts take great care to create itineraries which leave a long-lasting positive impact on both the people and places we visit. For Wild Frontiers, a successful tour not only delivers a unique and unsurpassable journey for you but will also benefit the people whose lands we are privileged to enough to explore.

The Background
Wild Frontiers was founded in 1998 by travel writer Jonny Bealby, after a chance encounter with the chief of a pagan tribe Pakistan's Hindu Kush led to the birth of Wild Frontiers and a lifelong friendship. In the company’s early days we expanded to develop tours throughout Central Asia, India, Pakistan and the Middle East. Today we run trips to over 80 countries, ranging from journeys along the Silk Road to tours exploring the ruins of Guatemala, and everything in between.

What Makes Us Different?
We specialise in stylish and original small group tours and tailor-made holidays to some of the most fascinating destinations on earth. For both types of holiday we believe it’s the small details - the types of transport we use, the places you stay, and above all the experiences we put together and the people you meet along the way, that make a trip special.

Our Team
Our team is made up of well-travelled experts and tour leaders, and every trip we run stems from that first-hand knowledge. In short, we run the type of trips that we, as travellers, like to take. Our experts are able to advise you on the best tour for you, or even build a tailor-made trip from scratch based on your tastes, interests and budget. And as tastes vary so much, so do our accommodation options, from staying in a yurt in Kyrgyzstan to homestays in Georgia and from a luxury cabin on a Galapagos boat or on a beautiful boat sailing through the islands of Indonesia to a heritage palace in Rajasthan.  

Meet The Locals
One of the key things that makes travel so rewarding is meeting people from different cultures, and on our trips there are plenty of opportunities to do just that. From carefully selected experiences such as learning to cook pasta in an Italian home, to a walking tour of Delhi led by former street children, we do our best to ensure you learn about your destination from the people who know it best - the locals. And by supporting local initiatives such as homestays and visits to co-operatives, we are able to offer a unique cultural experience to the traveler and ensure that money from tourism supports the hosts, their community and the local economy.

So whether you’re looking for an adventure in the beautiful cities of the Silk Road, on a walking tour through the mountains of eastern Turkey, or at a luxurious retreat in Sri Lanka, we’ll help you find your wild frontier.
