• Game drive – A twice-daily, thrilling safari staple

Gear up for thrilling game drives on a safari with Wilderness. A wildlife sighting is always unpredictable and that’s what makes a game drive so exciting. Look out for tracks. Listening for alarm calls and be on the alert for nearby predators. There’s so much to see, and being the first to spot something brings a whole new level of satisfaction to your day.

Enter the habitats and homes of magnificent wild animals. Staying respectful of their space and keeping you safe is our top priority. Game drives allow you to enjoy nature while still being comfortable and camera-ready. The curious among us will discover endless opportunities to learn about nature in its purest form, with our expert guides on hand to share their knowledge and passion with you.

• Helicopter – Take to the skies on an aerial safari.

Soar above the lush and wildlife-rich Linyanti and Okavango Delta on a breath-taking helicopter safari. Perspective is everything. And as you take off and climb you can truly appreciate the enormity of the landscape below. And the pristine, filter-free beauty that still exists on Earth. It will inspire the storyteller in you, as you share a bird’s-eye view and become a natural witness to the perfect give-and-take balance of nature below.

• Get ready for a wild night

Ditch the conventional four walls and choose to sleep out under the stars, whether on the rooftop of your suite in Namibia or at one of our Star Beds in Botswana. Be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the night, a jackal’s cry in the distance, or the gentle rumbling of elephants. See if you can count how many thousands of stars you can see in the clear night sky.

Romance and seclusion await with our sleep out safari experiences. Fall asleep on a raised platform enveloped by the magnificent African night sky. The sky is the darkest you’ve ever seen, and yet, it’s also the brightest. Who knew there were so many stars. The only sounds are those calls of the creatures of the night. Listen carefully for the whooping of a hyena or the roar of a far-off lion. Wake up to watch the sunrise and look out for other early risers.
