Emmanuel was our guide/driver for 3 days….could not have asked for a better person then him. Very genuine and personable……he provided the small details that always make a vacation special….very dedicated to his work…….loves people and his country

We haven't taken the tour yet, but the planning process has been delightful. When we started, my wife and I knew only that we wanted to do an Africa Safari. We didn't know where or when or how long or how much it would cost--literally clueless. Anneli introduced herself and by the time she was done we have planned what I'm sure will be a trip of our lives. We've traveled fairly extensively, and pretty much know what to look for in an agent. Anneli's patience with my ever changing requests was outstanding. She was extremely flexible in offering options and was always aware of staying around our budget once she advised what it might cost to do all of what we thought we wanted. I'll have more to say when we return from the safari, but I can't imagine that it will be anything but a glowing review.

We made booking via Wilderness direct for our holiday in Africa. Interaction was great and information and booking site was very good.

Quick and friendly response in any attempt to contact Wilderness. I always git accurate information and feedback without having to ask for it. Information provided is complete and helpful.

Fast, efficient and with a magical illustration of our upcoming itinerary.

The service received from initial enquiry to the safari itself was exceptional. It was friendly, helpful and efficient. A superb level of communication and I especially liked the 'checking in' emails/communications along the way to ensure we did not have any questions/queries. Highly recommend this company.

Our trip to Botswana, Cape Town, and Rwanda Oct. 30 to November 18, 2022 Summary Our 20 day trip from the USA to Africa included six days in Botswana at Vumbura Plains Camp, operated by Wilderness Destinations and Zarafa Camp, operated by Great Plains. In Cape Town, we stayed four days at Coventry Bantry Bay and in Rwanda, we stayed two days at Serena Kigali, and three days at Bisate Lodge, operated by Wilderness Destinations. Every place where we stayed provided us with beautiful accommodations and impactful experiences. The entire trip was meticulously organized by our contact in London, James Shortt, who, throughout the lengthy planning, was very accessible and always provided detailed answers to my questions. He was very, very helpful. We highly recommend James as a contact for any Africa trip. The itinerary itself, along with supporting material, was thorough, succinct, and answered any questions we may have had. Every detail was included in the itinerary. A representative from Wilderness met and either escorted us or drove us to our next destination. We never had to worry about how to maneuver the airport or how to get to the sights we wanted to see. The representatives were always prompt, helpful and pleasant. Each camp in Botswana and Rwanda was amazing. Not only were they beautiful and luxurious, but you felt as if they blended into the local landscape harmoniously, The hotels were also very elegant with amenities and restaurants that exceeded our expectations. You can be very assured that all the staff, guides, drivers, etc., you encounter an your trip are extremely knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. Our trip was an experience that has provided us with memories that are priceless. I would most definitely recommend James Shortt and Wilderness Destinations for anyone considering a trip to Africa. You will be pleased.

Malcolm from Wilderness was very quick, knowledgable and professional. We told him what we would like to do in Namibia and he put together a fabulous itinerary for us to review with suggestions for accommodation and recommended times to be spent in each location. This was all completed and confirmed within a couple of days. Excellent service!
