Wilderness Safaris wins National Geographic Awards as second best 'Safari Outfitter' in Africa.


In the category "Best Safari Outfitters 2008" Wilderness Safaris achieved second place rating with 95.7 points; the top slot was taken by an operator in Tanzania.

The National Geographic Society has a unique take on travel – they want to know who’s teaching their clients about the places they visit, who’s pushing the frontiers of discovery and adventure, and who’s giving back to the planet. Over 200 outfitters were surveyed and scored on the following criteria: education, sustainability, quality of service, and spirit of adventure. Apart from exotic far-off locations, companies considering their environmental impact through sustainable tourism practices featured highly. Wilderness Safaris is certainly a market leader in this regard.
