Since 2016, we’ve been creating private, tailor-made birding holidays and wildlife safaris across Africa and beyond, bringing together specialist knowledge, exceptional local guides and a genuine passion for the natural world.
Some of our guests travel in search of rare and endemic birds, others dream of seeing Africa’s iconic mammals, while many enjoy a combination of both. Whether you’re a dedicated birder, a wildlife enthusiast, a photographer or planning a safari with your family, we’ll design a journey around your interests, preferred pace and style of travel.
From remote forests and vast savannas to beautiful lodges and luxury safari camps, every itinerary is carefully considered. We know that the right guide, location and time of year can make all the difference, and it’s this attention to detail that defines a WILD holiday.
Our story began in Kenya, and Africa remains at the heart of everything we do. Over the years, we’ve explored some of the continent’s most remarkable wilderness areas, developing close relationships with experienced local guides, conservation partners and carefully selected lodges and camps.
We know which destinations offer the best opportunities for particular species, which properties are worth recommending and how to combine different areas into a rewarding, well-paced itinerary.
It’s knowledge built through years of travelling, working in the field and learning from the people who know these places best. And while our destinations now extend beyond Africa, that personal, hands-on approach remains central to everything we do.
2026 marks ten years since our beginnings in Kenya. What started as a small specialist birding company has grown into an established travel business creating private birding and wildlife holidays across Africa and beyond.
Over the past decade, we’ve welcomed guests from around the world, explored extraordinary landscapes and built lasting relationships with some of the finest local guides and safari properties.
While our destinations and experiences have expanded, our approach remains the same: thoughtful planning, personal service and a genuine understanding of the places we visit.
Over the past twelve months, our journeys have taken guests across 11 African countries, with 34 tours and more than 80 travellers experiencing everything from specialist birding expeditions to private wildlife safaris.
We’re proud of what we’ve achieved and excited about what lies ahead.
Since 2016, we’ve spent years exploring some of the world’s most remarkable birding and wildlife destinations. Our recommendations come from first-hand experience, understanding where to go, when to visit and which locations offer the best opportunities for particular species. It’s often the smallest details that make the biggest difference.
A great guide can transform a holiday. We work with an established network of specialist bird guides and experienced safari naturalists who know their regions intimately. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and understanding of local wildlife are central to every WILD journey, whether you’re searching for a rare endemic or watching a pride of lions.
Your interests, your dates, your pace. Every WILD holiday is privately arranged and individually designed, with no fixed departures or standard itineraries to follow. Whether you’re a dedicated birder, a wildlife photographer, travelling as a couple with different interests or planning a family safari, we’ll create a journey that works for you.
From comfortable, characterful lodges to some of Africa’s finest luxury safari camps, we know that where you stay is an important part of the experience. We work closely with trusted accommodation partners, selecting properties for their location, quality, guiding, atmosphere and value, rather than simply their star rating.
We believe that travel should benefit the wildlife, habitats and communities that make these journeys possible. We prioritise working with local guides and businesses, support conservation-minded properties and encourage responsible wildlife viewing. For guests who are interested, we can also incorporate citizen science opportunities and optional carbon offsetting into their travels.
