This is a celebration. A reminder to ourselves. Of who we are, what we have achieved and what we spend every day building.

I take great pride in being a part of our company that protects the wild places I love most, alongside the people who care deeply about preserving them. 40 represents the immense passion of truly making a difference.

I started at Wilderness in the summer of 2017, and was in for the surprise of my life when I went for my interview. What stuck with me was the fact that everyone was laid back but committed, hardworking and dedicated to making guests’ dream holidays come true. Wilderness celebrating 40 years of existence, is proof that the company is dedicated to growth and success. I wish the company nothing but the best. Cheers to 40 years.

Amoroke which means Greetings.
I would love to share this with you about the Hambukushu. The Bahambukushu tribe originated from Angola and their native language is called Sembukushu. They are found in the northern parts of Botswana, especially along the Okavango Delta. They live in large groups or extended families and make homes out of reeds, cow dung, and mud.

Hambukushu men can marry 2-3 wives and have many kids, all staying under one roof. They practice mixed farming and are hunters and gatherers. The women practice basket weaving and use this skill to make a living while the men make boats,used for transport across the river and fishing, spoons, hoes and axes.

Their favourite food is millet, meat, fish, tswii, mealie meal, peanuts and beans.
They do practice motshelo (form a group and help each other financially), mafisa (give others cows for them to sustain their families). Helping each other.

For 40yrs Bahambukushu have been able to live peacefully with Wilderness and we are happy to celebrate these 40 years. 

Not only celebrate but work together with Wilderness to discover earth’s ultimate untamed places in all our camps (especially Vumbura).
