Wilderness Safaris provide highly memorable safaris that are fun and educational for those who are looking for a true African experience. Guests travel to unspoiled corners of Africa and stay in small and luxurious camps. Over the past 20 years Wilderness Safaris has become the leading safari operator in southern Africa with private reserves in Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, the Seychelles, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Together with Wilderness Safaris, Go2Africa will create an unforgettable safari experience for you.

The locations and the feeling of being in true, prime and remote wilderness areas means everything to Wilderness Safaris and the reserves they profile are large, exclusive and offer unbeatable experiences. Their camps are small and intimate - most have less than 10 rooms and with a no hunting policy in all the reserves, the animals are relaxed, ensuring the best possible game viewing.

Food and Wine

In Camps and Lodges - this varies from country to country and is dependent on what they can buy in that country. Generally, they are not a "nouvelle cuisine" safari company. They prefer to opt for good, wholesome home style cooking at elegantly set dining tables (sometimes under the stars, sometimes under thatch or canvas) where guests can discuss and debate the day's events with their guides. The meal times are geared around the best game viewing times, and the activities specific to a particular camp.

Meals on Camping Safaris - on cross country safaris, refrigerators or cooler boxes are on the vehicles and fresh food is enjoyed each day. Most meals on safari are included, the exception being any lunches or dinners in bigger towns such as Victoria Falls or in Windhoek, where there are a variety of restaurant choices.
