Our renowned safari program includes phenomenal wildlife safaris, fascinating cultural journeys, exclusive camps, and unique itineraries.

Whether on one of our luxurious mobile safaris or an enchanting lodge-based adventure, we’ll have you in the prime location, close to the wildlife and far from the crowds. Our lodges are renowned for their superb locations and authentic style, wonderfully welcoming and often a bit indulgent. Want to get even farther off the beaten track? Our exclusive mobile camps take you deep into the bush without sacrificing comfort, offering walk-in tents, hot-water showers, elegant dining beneath a canopy of stars, and the incomparable thrill of a safari in the wild.
Our phenomenal safari guides are simply the best in the business. They are legendary for their ability to spot wildlife and unmatched in their talent for sharing the complexities of the African environment. Thanks to their incomparable skills, you’ll be amazed at how much you learn on safari, how much fun you have in their company, and how deeply you experience the wonder of safari.
Mornings: Wake early to the sounds of the wild, search for game as the sun rises, and enjoy a mid-morning tea or coffee break under the shade of an acacia tree.
Afternoons: After a leisurely lunch back at camp, head out in mid-afternoon for new encounters, and as the golden light spreads across the African wilds, enjoy a “sundowner” drink in the perfect panoramic spot.
Evenings: Evening brings another delicious meal—sometimes under the stars, and often a night game drive to look for leopard and other nocturnal wildlife.

Thank you for planning such an amazing safari—from beginning to end, it was perfect in every way. We will treasure our memories from this trip for the rest of our lives.
We have loved all our WT trips, but this one stands above them all. Fantastic itinerary and our guides were the best ever—it doesn’t get any better than this!
Every single piece of the trip went like clockwork. The food was excellent, the wildlife viewing a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the guides phenomenal. A stupendous trip.
There is so much to see on this magnificent continent. Whether you are joining us for your very first safari or are a dedicated, lifelong safari-goer, you’ll find we have the most varied program imaginable.
Africa is a dream destination, but it is also a fragile one. Wilderness Travel supports—and our guests have visited—the projects of leading conservationists including Jane Goodall, elephant expert Iain Douglas-Hamilton, and cheetah expert Laurie Marker. An award-winning reforestation project on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, foundeded by our Trip Leader Sebastian Chuwa, is restoring the ecosystem as well as providing employment for village women. We have funded anti-poaching camps in Namibia and our special conservation safaris give you exclusive access to projects like AfriCat’s annual “Vet Check” of the big cats and Dr. Flip Stander’s extraordinary work with desert lions. Educating the next generation is also of critical importance, and we are honored to support schools throughout Africa. Your safari with us supports this work.
