Harvard dealmakers seize power in Wilderness deal

Wilderness is one of Africa’s biggest ecotourism groups, with 16 camps in the Okavango Delta either wholly or partially owned. The group dominates the Delta’s high end with camps that have won international awards.

Shareholders holding nearly 87 million shares or about 36% will soon be asked to vote on the P6.25 per share African Wildlife Holdings Limited is offering for their shares. If the offer is successful, Wilderness Holdings will exit the BSE after nine years of listing and go private.
