ABOUT WILDERNESS SAFARIS and WHITE DESERT

As leaders in responsible tourism and conservation, Wilderness Safaris offers unforgettable luxury adventures that help preserve biodiversity, conserve wildlife and uplift local communities. Since its founding in Botswana in 1983, Wilderness Safaris has shared its passion for Africa, as well as its custodial sense of protection, and the urgency to protect these ecosystems and the life they support, with thousands of guests. Operating in seven countries across some 40 diverse camps, and protecting 2.3 million hectares (5.6 M acres) of Africa’s wilderness, Wilderness Safaris is the world’s largest conservation tourism platform.

Founded by world-record polar explorers, White Desert has transformed the isolated beauty of Antarctica into an exclusive playground, offering luxury accommodations and a host of adventurous experiences, including ice climbing, abseiling, rock climbing, and rope walking, as well as the rare highlight of visiting the South Pole. Protecting Antarctica’s future is fundamental to White Desert’s mission. In addition to supporting scientists performing ground-breaking research on the Antarctic ice shelf, White Desert’s operations leave no waste on the continent and their camps are built with the lightest environmental footprint, similar to those of Wilderness Safaris, where all elements can be disassembled, leaving no trace.
