The story
A bit of Wilderness history.
Wilderness was founded in Botswana in 1983 and has grown into one of the largest photographic-safari operators on the continent, with concessions across Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania.
Their model is built on long private concessions. A leverage that lets the camps stay genuinely remote rather than collected into clusters of tourist density.
