Wilderness Safaris

Wilderness Safaris is a conservation organisation and ecotourism company dedicated to responsible tourism throughout the areas in which it operates in southern Africa. Its goal is to share these wild areas with guests from all over the world, while at the same time helping to ensure the future protection of Africa's spectacular wildlife heritage and sharing the benefits of tourism with local communities.

The 25-year-old company operates camps and safaris in Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and the Seychelles and is run by a group of likeminded wildlife enthusiasts who came together to build a successful safari business, delivering a unique experience for guests, fair returns for shareholders and stakeholders, while ensuring that southern Africa's pristine wilderness areas remain sustainably protected.

Its wildlife, marine and heritage safaris in remote and pristine wilderness destinations are specialised, educational, explorative and fun. Camps and services are safe, hygienic, authentic and insightful of guests' needs. Its "conservation through tourism" policy shares the benefits of tourism with local communities and ensures the protection of these areas for future generations.

Wilderness Safaris is privileged to operate privately on 2.6 million hectares (6.4 million acres) of southern Africa's finest wildlife reserves in some 50 lodges and camps. There is no one style set in Wilderness camps; rather we celebrate the difference and uniqueness of each area and its wildlife so that each group of camps has its own identity, feel and character. This variety of accommodation, activities and product means that there's something for everyone wanting to come to Africa.

The environment is at the heart of our beliefs and values and we care for it in a number of different ways. Wildlife- or community-related projects are run at many of our camps. The Wilderness Safaris Wildlife Trust secures funds for these and other projects unrelated to the company. Children in the Wilderness is our hugely successful local children's programme. Finally, throughout our business we strive to save energy and be as environmentally friendly as we can.
