Welcome to Wildlife Explorer

Since 1984, Wildlife Explorer has outfitted Luxury Tented Safaris in the Wilderness of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Botswana.

"It has been our privilege to have welcomed: National Geographic, the BBC Natural History Unit, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir David Attenborough, Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster, to name just a few of the very special guests that have enjoyed a Safari Za Mwituni – Journey in the Wilderness – with Wildlife Explorer.

We hope that this site provides enough information for you to plan what must be one of the last great adventures on Earth – a Safari in the Wilderness. We look forward to being of service to you."

Gary Strand – Founder and Managing Director, Wildlife Explorer.

A Traditional Safari has always been about the exclusiveness of the experience, which is why a safari with Wildlife Explorer will include names of places that are not on everyone’s itinerary, places that are unique and exclusive, where Game Drives can be taken in Open Vehicles as well as the more traditional 4WD’s, where Game Walks and Walking Safaris accompanied by one of our Professional Walking Guides, tracking and stalking wild animals, re-lives the excitement of the early explorer’s and where, perhaps following cocktails on a towering rock Kopje a Night Game Drive back to our camp paints a spotlighted picture of the nocturnal creatures surrounding us.

"Surprisingly many people accept second best, however Wildlife Explorer has never been about ‘'many people' and certainly never ‘second best’!"

Each Safari is lead by a Professional Wildlife Explorer Guide who has the knowledge and expertise to unfold the magic of a true journey in the wilderness with exclusive use of specially prepared 4WD vehicles.

Our reputation has been built on the professionalism of our guides, the efficiency of our staff and the excellence of our camps.

The Wildlife Explorer Luxury Tented Camps provide unrivalled service and comfort allowing a rare opportunity to experience first class accommodation in areas of outstanding beauty for use exclusively by our guests. Each tent is situated for maximum privacy with outstanding uninterrupted views surrounded by unspoilt Africa. Individually designed menus and a fine collection of wines and beverages are presented in a candlelit-dining tent in a tradition of style dating back decades. Imagine the luxury of a first class hotel exclusively yours!

Specially selected lodges and hotels combine with our own camps to provide the correct balance of adventure and elegance.

The Great Migration and the symphony of life that parallels this amazing spectacle bear witness to the claim that Tanzania is truly the destination for discerning wildlife enthusiasts in search of unspoilt Africa.

Throughout the year there is always a wildlife spectacle taking place in one of Tanzania’s Private Concession Areas, National Parks or Conservation Areas.

Tanzania is our home base so naturally our experience is predominantly with East Africa however over 23 years of personal wilderness exploration around the world has allowed us to compile a portfolio that includes other countries with vast tracts of wilderness to explore.

Now choose from our selection of premier wilderness countries and utilise our unrivalled outfitting experience to build your own ‘Safari Za Mwituni’
