Wilderness

Few other safari companies can compete with Wilderness’s access to Africa’s wildest and most remote spaces and custodianship of vast tracts of private land. Some of its most impressive destinations, as well as its flagship property Wilderness Mombo Camp, are in Botswana. Overall, we find these camps offer a perfect balance between luxury and authenticity. Wilderness Magashi Peninsula is the company’s latest venture in Rwanda’s Akagera National Park, providing an ideal pairing with the wildly successful Wilderness Bisate, which delivers one of the country’s top gorilla-trekking expeditions. The Wilderness safari guides are some of the finest in the industry, so guests can be sure they’re in the best possible hands. Aside from its award-winning camps and lodges, the brand incorporates its own private airline, a multi-layered conservation division, and a collection of trade partners.

Wilderness follows a low-volume, high-value tourism model that protects Africa’s wild spaces while immersing guests in some of the world’s outermost reaches and unique environments. Positive impact is key to the company’s vision, and its philanthropic framework consists of three pillars: educate, empower, and protect.
