Stylish: having a superior quality, manner etc.

Rather than run tours that are simple to organise and cost effective to run - usually meaning the use of large, often-franchised hotels, coaches and an unwieldy group size - we specialise in giving our clients something more creative and individual. As such we spend a great deal of time researching the best places to stay, the most interesting and comfortable means of transport and the most convenient international flight routes. In addition, our average maximum group size is 12.

Original: capable of thinking or acting in an independent, creative, or individual manner.

With the wealth of knowledge we have of our destinations, and the dynamic and creative team we have assembled in the London office, at Wild Frontiers we pride ourselves at being able to create itineraries that give you something different. We don't opt for the easiest route or most convenient hotel... unless they are the best way to go and the nicest place to stay. One of the things we love most is developing real adventures that give you a truly special and unforgettable experience.

Unique: of which there is only one.

Each Wild Frontiers journey is unique in its combination of location, route, guides and service. However, on every Wild Frontiers tour we go out of our way to produce something extra, exclusive to us and our clients - be it our own mountain hideaway in the Hindu Kush, visiting the Tibetan children of Wild Frontiers supported schools, or an elephant ride into the jungle in India - designed to give you a unique experience on your journey.

Luxury: something desirable for comfort or enjoyment, but not indispensable.

In the past people used to think of this word as implying excessive comfort at excessive expense: be that in the form of exquisite foods, high-performance cars or fluffy, white towelling dressing gowns on your hotel's bathroom door. Not so today. Today we think of luxury as things we most desire to enhance our quality of life: space, time, and perhaps most importantly, experiences. At Wild Frontiers we specialise in offering our guests as much of these all-to-rare commodities as we can and as a result help them gain more from their holiday, and, dare we say it, their life. To stand on top of a pass in the Mountains of Heaven with nothing but snow-capped peaks and a pristine world before you, to dance around a bonfire with a pagan tribe high in the Hindu Kush, or to spend a lazy, timeless day drifting across one of Kashmir's lakes are all luxuries you will never forget. And occasionally, we'll throw in the dressing gown as well!

Adventure: an unsual, exciting and possibly dangerous activity such as a journey or experience, or the excitement produced by such an activity.

At Wild Frontiers we specialise in both 'hard' and 'soft' adventure. On some of our group tours you can find yourself camping in the wilds of Afghanistan, riding across the high Andes, or rolling over the Indus' Grade 5 rapdis; similarly you could be sleeping in a four-poster bed, wallowing in an infinity pool, or (very occassionaly) enjoying a spa treatment! On all our trips we take the safety of our clients very seriously and always act with this in our minds. Through our extensive list of contacts in each region - be they journalists, embassy staff, politicians or aid workers - we are able to gain invaluable information that helps make your trip as safe as possible. But that said, we will not treat you like children and ultimately leave many decisions relating to extracurricular activities to yourselves.
