Wild Expeditions
In 2008 we launched a series of extraordinary expeditions on classic ancient routes, where the itinerary is dictated not through an office in London, but by the events of the day.
With many members of the WF team cutting their teeth in exploratory adventure travel – as travel writers, polar explorers and expedition leaders – we are keen to return to our roots, getting out into the wilds of this incredible earth, and taking you with us.
So far we have ridden horses across the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan, trekked into Afghanistan's remote Wakhan Corridor, joined a Tuareg camel train across the sand seas of the Sahara and undertaken a monumentus river journey along the Congo River through Africa's dark heart.
In 2012 we are planning another epic river journey, this time into the remote northern jungle of Burma, following in the footsteps of 'Elephant Bill'.
