TRAVEL WITH PURPOSE
Why travel with Wilderness?
Our accommodations strike the right balance of luxury and authenticity, and promise unrivalled comfort while staying true to the vibrant soul and spirit of each destination. Our private game viewing areas, with caps on guest numbers, mean fewer vehicles and people, and more intimate and up-close encounters with wildlife in their natural habitat.
Iconic wild destinations
By being among the first in a place, we have access to some of Earth’s most significant wild places. Each Wilderness destination offers a whole new world of environments, habitats, cultures, sights and sounds for you to discover. Join us as you explore our Collection of diverse and varied safari experiences.
Best wildlife experiences
Meet guides with an uncommon ability for understanding, finding and explaining wildlife. Our guides are encouraged to hone their interests to answer any need, quirk or obsession. So, whether you’re a family, photographer, big-cat enthusiast or avid birder, you’ll find a guide to relate. We also hire locally, benefitting the communities we operate in and providing an ideal window into the wild.

We also hire locally, benefiting the communities we operate in and providing the best knowledge of the wild.
Immersive architecture
Camps shouldn’t just be beautiful. They should gently immerse us in nature, unlocking all senses. Our placement of camps is an exact science, offering wildlife experiences that are as exceptional from your deck as on a game drive. With no more than 12 suites per camp, spread over hundreds of acres, and built using the lightest possible footprint, we enjoy our areas peacefully and respectfully.
Cultural exploration
Each camp honours its area's cultures and traditions. Over 90% of staff come from local villages, sharing their history and cultures with guests of all ages. Elevated traditional dishes make mealtimes exciting, while textiles and art are also sourced from communities. Some of our destinations also offer the opportunity to further immerse yourself in nearby villages and ongoing research projects.
Seamless trusted travel
We’ve been trusted by guests across the globe to create safe travel adventures since 1983. Our industry-leading safety and logistics support, Wilderness24, gives you instant on-the-ground assistance for anything and everything that might arise. And our private charter airline Wilderness Air will get you to our remote camps safely. Talk to our experts about putting together your dream journey.
Shared impact
We were among the pioneers of conservation hospitality, with the two halves of our business feeding in to one significant whole. On the one hand, we invite guests to experience life-changing moments in nature. On the other, we’re committed to doubling the wilderness we help protect by 2030 – all thanks to our three core impact pillars: Educate, Empower, and Protect.

Testimonials from fellow safari-goers
Amazing experiences
"This is my 3rd trip with Wilderness and to their camps in Africa. Each trip just gets better. The attention to detail in each camp is superior beyond words. The food, the settings, the guides, the staff .... everything and everyone is incredible. They greet you at the airports to make sure you are able to get through without issues. And they get you from camp to camp on the internal flights - which are much fun! I recommend them to all my friends and hope to return to Africa again in the future."

Highly recommend Wilderness
"Nelson our travel agent put together the perfect honeymoon in Tanzania - which included a combination of safari and Zanzibar beach holiday. Communication and planning in the run up went well, he quickly understood what we were looking for and provided a clear, comprehensive quote, meeting all our desires for the trip. The trip itself went seamlessly, and we enjoyed every stay and experience we had planned - even more than we could have imagined."

Very helpful and knowledgeable
"I first contacted Wilderness only wanting a suggestion for a safari camp in a more secluded spot in Kenya- thinking we could book something ourselves directly with a camp. I was blown away by how knowledgeable and helpful Angela was in being able to curate a safari experience (with all camps in Kenya, not just Wilderness camps) that was exactly what we wanted. I also realized how foolish it would have been to have tried to do this on our own."
