Experiences
Walk. Boat. Barge. Float. Fly. Drive. Ride. Trek. Track. Discover. A world of experiences awaits with Wilderness.
Something to fascinate every age and interest
Open up a whole new realm of adventure with Wilderness. Watch a flurry of avian activity unfold as you take to Africa’s waterways by boat. Go in search of creatures, big and small, on a game drive or walking safari. Track rhinos, or desert-adapted lions in a sea of sand. Learn about other cultures and ancient lifestyles. Gaze in awe at historic sites and some of the world’s greatest wonders.
Do something different
Our unique experiences
Safari vehicles are being refuelled. Delicious bush brunches are being baked. Star-Beds are being prepared. The people of Wilderness are ready to welcome you. Travelling is not only about the places you visit or the things you’ll see, it’s about making memories and experiencing something you’ve never done before. Whatever that is, we’re ready for you.
