Africa
Some great writers found magic and happiness in Africa. Others, a sense of where they belong. For Wilderness, Africa is and forever will be our home.
The Motherland
The original Wilderness
The original Wilderness
From Wilderness’ birthplace in diverse Botswana, home of the phenomenal Okavango Delta, to the dense forests and great apes of Rwanda, or the ancient, intriguing desert landscapes of Namibia, let’s explore Africa’s wild spaces, together.
The Wilderness footprint spans eight countries across 6 million acres (2.3 million hectares) in Africa. However, it's always been our aim to tread lightly, acting with the purpose of conserving each of these magnificent wild areas and the life found there. From ancient cultures to historic rock art sites, vibrant communities, and iconic wildlife, Africa is exciting, exceptional, and certainly worth protecting.
At the heart of the wild
The African safari experience is one you’ll only understand once you’ve had its dust on your toes and seen its magnificent sunsets for yourself. Once you’ve watched elephants silently pad along the desert, lions leap over waterways, leopards emerge from thick grass, giraffe sway over the savannah, or listened to the whoop of a hyena as it echoes into the night.
