40 years of Wilderness means the joint effort of like-minded individuals working together for the good of conservation and the preservation of our communities and wildlife in Africa. We are all doing our part to give back through what we love doing and conserving a part of our beautiful Africa for the next generation. Wilderness is the people who make it what it is.

 As Groups, Series and Explorations, we have taken care of the serious side of what Wilderness is about, yes we work hard BUT we play hard too! Here is what some of our playing hard looks like.

Wilderness Safaris, now known as Wilderness, has been a pioneer in the luxury travel industry for 40 years. The company started with a few rustic tents, a single Land Rover, two dedicated safari guides, and a dream of showcasing Africa’s iconic wild places. Today, it has grown into a world-leading conservation and hospitality company, with over 3,000 passionate employees and over 60 camps in eight countries.

To US, 40 years of Wilderness means a legacy of responsible tourism that has helped preserve the natural beauty of Africa’s wilderness. It means a commitment to sustainable tourism that has empowered local communities and protected wildlife. It means an unwavering dedication to providing guests with unforgettable experiences that are both luxurious and authentic. It means 40 years of fun!

Wilderness has always been more than just a travel company. It is a movement that has inspired people around the world to appreciate the beauty of nature and to work towards its conservation. So we as a team had to get it moving and celebrate in true Wilderness style.

Our dance video is a testament to the spirit of adventure and joy that Wilderness embodies. We hope it inspires others to appreciate the beauty of nature and to work towards its conservation.

Here’s to another 40 years of adventure, conservation, fun and prosperity.
