A WILDERNESS PERSPECTIVE
At Wilderness Safaris, our greatest delight is to share the wild places of Africa with our guests in a responsible
manner. These magnificent remote areas provide a means, of both our guests and ourselves, to reconnect with
our natural spirit – something often neglected and forgotten in the modern, fast –paced world in which we line.
Our aim is to share what we have learnt over the years, on a journey that constantly changes our own lives, and
which we hope will touch and change yours.
At the same time, we believe that the future of conservation in Africa depends on the attitude of the
communities living next to these wild areas. For too long the need of these communities were neglected by
people involved in conservation work. The twin benefits to the community of tourism ventures and employment
create a true appreciation for the land and its wildlife.
Finally, we aim to create safaris that are educational, explorative, fun and insightful of our guests’ needs.
We look forward to you joining us on our journey.

cassava farming.
