South African Safaris - Partnership

We have an exclusive partnership with Wilderness Safaris in South Africa, a leader in custom quality, luxury safaris in South Africa. Take a look at some of the South African safari camps.

Since 1983, Wilderness Safaris has specialised in privately hosted safaris and memorable wildlife experiences in the most remote and pristine areas in southern Africa. Their goal is to share these wild areas with guests from all over the world while at the same time making use of the benefits of tourism by contributing to the local communities, helping to ensure the future protection of Africa’s spectacular wildlife heritage.

Why Choose Wilderness Safaris

There are many safari companies in Africa and a vast array of areas to choose from so why choose Wilderness? You will notice that their brochure focuses on the incredible wild places in which they are privileged to operate and less on their lodges. These magnificent areas, far off the beaten tourist tracks of Africa, represent for their guests and for themselves a way of reconnecting with our primeval nature and spirit that often gets trapped in our busy everyday lives. The locations and the feeling of being in true, prime and remote wilderness areas means everything to them. The way they host our guests enhances the physical beauty and spirit of these pristine areas. Passionate and dedicated people run their camps. Their aim is to share with you all they have learnt: - on game drives, on foot, by canoe or mokoro.

The key to a successful African safari is to ensure that the company you choose is truly capable of providing what you are looking for in terms of the reserves in which the lodges and camps are situated, the wildlife viewing opportunities, the design and style of the camps and most importantly the knowledge and quality of the guides and staff.

Here are some good reasons why we feel you should consider choosing Wilderness Safaris to host you in southern Africa:

  • Over 20 years of experience in running southern African safaris.
  • Dedicated conservationists and guides own and run Wilderness Safaris and in doing so, they do what they enjoy most.
  • The best locations and are privileged to traverse over vast acres of prime, mostly completely private African wilderness.
  • Even though some of thecamps are located within countries where malaria can occur, they have a superb malarial safety record. Their camps are sprayed regularly and are far removed from populated areas where malaria may occur. Many camps have the new "Mossie Magnet" machine that further helps to minimise the mosquito numbers.
  • Through The Wilderness Trust, they support strategic conservation causes across southern Africa
  • They contribute directly to the upliftment of the communities who live closest to the parks and reserves in which they operate. This ensures that these communities become conservationists in their own right and do not have to turn to poaching to survive. They turn the potential poachers into ardent conservationists
  • By working with communities, they have converted close to half a million acres of land into prime wildlife reserves and conservancies that now have formal conservation protection.
  • Wilderness Safaris is recognized worldwide for their efforts in conservation. They don't practice conservation in name only. In January 2003 Wilderness Safaris was awarded the "Oscar" of the eco-tourism industry - The World Legacy Award for nature based tourism presented by Conservation International & National Geographic. In October 2003 Wilderness Safaris received the prestigious ASTA Environmental Award
  • Their camps are small and intimate - most have less than 10 rooms.
  • They have a no hunting policy in all their reserves, so animals are relaxed, enabling them to offer the best possible game viewing.
  • Repeat guests form a huge portion of their business and many of their guests have been on safari with them more than 10 times.
  • They ensure that the camps have their own individual flair. Although the design of each camp varies, each lodge or camp has a warm homely atmosphere. They are not offering a sterile hotel chain in the bush.
  • They take our responsibility to the environment seriously and look for the same sentiment in their guests. Wildlife and wilderness is their prime motivation and the main reason why our guests choose them. It's an opportunity to escape the pressures and excesses of city living Ð a life changing experience, a journey of self discovery and enrichment.
  • Wilderness guides take a more holistic view of the environments they operate in and give our guests a broader and more rounded experience than other more traditional areas of Africa where the emphasis is sometimes solely on the "Big 5" and spas in the bush.
