Wilderness Safaris Celebrates 35 Years of Travelling with Purpose :: Mmegi Online

Wilderness Safaris is celebrating 35 years as Africa's leading authentic and sustainable ecotourism company. From humble beginnings in Botswana in 1983, the company has grown substantially over the last 35 years - not only in size but also in its ability to positively impact the ongoing biodiversity of Africa's pristine wilderness heritage and the empowerment of its people.

When Wilderness Safaris registered as a company in 1983, it was the first safari outfitter at the time to realise the need for its financial benefits to flow back to the country and its people, ultimately ensuring the sustainable protection of Botswana’s diverse wilderness.

According to Wilderness CEO, Keith Vincent, even though this approach forms the cornerstone of ecotourism all over the world today, it was a groundbreaking philosophy in the early 1980s that set Wilderness Safaris apart, and set its course for the next three-and-a-half decades.
