At Wilderness Safaris, we create immersive journeys.  In addition to crafting these life-changing experiences for our guests, in some of the most remote and pristine areas in Africa, we also help to conserve Africa’s phenomenal biodiversity and share ecotourism’s benefits with rural communities. 

Founded in Botswana in 1983, Wilderness Safaris is widely acclaimed as the continent’s foremost ecotourism operator. Our ecotourism and conservation company is based in Botswana, with regional offices and locally registered businesses in each of the eight countries in which we operate. We operate and market some 40 small safari camps as well as mobile safaris and walking/canoeing trails in the pristine wilderness areas of Africa (Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Seychelles and Kenya). Wilderness Air owns and operates a fleet of light aircraft to provide a seamless transfer service between camps. 

All operations and activities are organised and evaluated under the 4Cs framework: Conservation, Community, Culture and Commerce. In addition, two not-for-profit wings - the Wilderness Wildlife Trust and Children in the Wilderness – also employ this framework to ensure that a meaningful difference is made as a result of tourism in the fields of wildlife conservation and community development.
