Welcome to
Wandering Wild is the way we share the Africa we know and love. The Africa that awakens your soul. Where life is still shaped by the natural world, inviting you to be present in what’s real and untouched. An Africa that leaves you in awe of its beauty, over and over again.
Our journeys take you beyond the expected, to places with character and people who know their landscapes intimately. From founder-run camps and wild landscapes to remarkable wildlife encounters, every journey is built around what matters most to you.
We believe in travel that feels good, does good, and wanders far from the expected.

THE FACES BEHIND WANDERING WILD
Hey, we're Luke & Alie!
We're a small team of guides, travelers, and storytellers based between the United States and South Africa.
Our work is shaped by a deep love for Africa's wild places and the belief that travel should create connection to nature, to people, and to yourself.
We combine local insight with a global perspective to craft safaris that feel personal, grounded, and true to the place.
"GOING ON AN AFRICAN SAFARI & FORGETTING ABOUT IT IS SIMPLY NOT AN OPTION.

Group
expeditions
These aren't your typical tours. They're raw, immersive journeys designed to get you properly into the wild.
You'll explore remote corners of Africa, camp under endless skies, navigate rugged landscapes, and experience the continent on a more personal level.
You'll share the road with a small group of like-minded adventurers, making memories, tackling challenges, and experiencing the kind of Africa that doesn't come with a polished itinerary.
Come for the adventure. Leave with stories you'll be telling for years.
