Fantastic experience! My guide, Matthew, was kind and super knowledgeable. I learned so much and had a wonderful time exploring with him. The rest of the staff at Kulala Desert Lodge were also amazing- Steven, Maria, Michael, to name just a few. I really enjoyed my experience and would 100% book w Wilderness again.

The hospitality of our Wilderness friends (they are now friends for life) at all three camps we visited in Botswana was only exceeded by the extraordinary viewings of the animals and landscape. The accommodations were wonderful and our nine-day safari experience left us with memories we will long cherish, including the nightly roaring of lions and grunting of hippos. We had hoped for a trip of a lifetime and what we experienced surpassed all expectations. Thank you to everyone at Wilderness.

My partner and I have just returned from an unforgettable safari in North Tanzania with Wilderness. We visited Tarangire National Park (2 days), Lake Manyara National Park (1 day), Ngorogoro Crater conservation area (1 day) and Serengeti Park (4 days). From the beginning, the communications with the Wilderness team were excellent with our own WhatsApp group with the staff who were on hand to answer our questions. Our guide Haji was exceptional with his knowledge, passion and ability to spot wildlife. My partner is a keen wildlife photographer and our guide was very helpful in positioning the vehicle so he could get the best shots. He went above and beyond to make our experience really special - even on the last day when driving us to the airstrip, he took us to see the hippos which we hadn't managed to get good photos of previously. Nothing was too much trouble. The lodges which were booked for us were in a variety of locations; the staff were friendly and hospitable and the food was locally sourced, fresh and well prepared - among the best we've eaten anywhere. Lahia tented accommodation in Serengeti Park deserves a special mention as the accommodation was outstanding with a 360 degree view of Serengeti Park. Wilderness staff checked in on us regularly during our safari via WhatsApp and arranged for us to stop to buy souvenirs on our way back to Kilimanjaro International Airport. We always got quick responses to our messages. We would definitely use Wilderness again for a future safari and would be happy to recommend them.

I wanted to thank the Wilderness team for helping us plan and go on this amazing trip. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! From our tours of Cape Town to our end at Victoria Falls it was amazing. I especially want to call out how above and beyond both the Vumbra Plains and Chitabe Lediba teams went to make it once in a lifetime experience! They both bent over backwards to cater to daugher and recognize my milestone birthday. From a cake and celebration at Vumbra with the staff, to a private dinner on our porch at Chitabe. Both guides were amazing. They provided so much information and we saw everything we wanted to see and more. Big shout out to them To top it off the level of help we got from going across borders from transportation to immigration, we couldn’t have done it without your team. We are amazed at the level of service we received and no future vacation will compare. You can't go wrong with Wilderness!

I and Joan used this company for our vacation. We recommend whoever want to enjoy tour trips to use them🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Amazing experience with Wilderness in Botswana and Zimbabwe. Totally recommend it. The camps, Little Vumbura and Little DumaTau, and our guides Onx and Ron were remarkable, we had one of our best holidays ever. And our guide in Zimbabwe, Sufret, was so nice to chat with and made a very nice plan for us. Thank you so much Antonina for organizing this wonderful trip :)

We had a wonderful trip to the Serengeti. Thanks for the advice and the organization of the Wilderness team! The Usawa was really good – the Camp is well organized, the staff is amazing, friendly, helpful, our guide Manga was really experienced, we follow each other on Insta and I shared all my Safari- photos with him. We had wonderful bush breakfast, lunch, dinner and beautiful sunsets and sunrises – a lot of animals for sure and good vibes. I especially liked the relatively quietness of the area around the camp. Only few cars and no hectic of the Wilderness guides. I saw a lot of other cars of other companies driving too fast or driving during sunset. So I can recommend this camp and Wilderness for this part of the Serengeti!

My recent journey through Wilderness camps in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia was exceptional from start to finish. What impressed me most was that Wilderness delivers on its promise of creating experiences that are truly unfenced, untamed, and unpredictable. Each camp offered a distinct sense of place while maintaining the highest standards of hospitality, guiding, and conservation. The wildlife experiences were extraordinary, from walking with rhinos and elephants to tracking lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Yet what made the trip truly special were the people. The guides, camp managers, and staff consistently demonstrated a genuine passion for sharing their environments and communities with guests. I was equally impressed by Wilderness's commitment to conservation and community engagement. Visiting local projects and seeing firsthand how tourism supports both wildlife protection and educational opportunities added a meaningful dimension to the journey. As a luxury travel advisor, I evaluate experiences through the lens of what I would confidently recommend to my clients. Wilderness exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of remarkable wildlife, remote and thoughtfully designed camps, exceptional service, and a deep commitment to conservation creates an experience that is difficult to replicate anywhere else in the world. I returned home inspired, grateful, and with an even greater appreciation for the transformative power of safari.
