Our trip to Bolivia was unique and very special. Both our Wilderness guide and our local Bolivian guide were absolutely phenomenal — we were always so well taken care of. When my elderly mom felt that an upcoming hike might be too strenuous, the guides went out of their way to find a good option that would make my mom’s life easier without her missing any of the activities. It was so beautifully handled.

Bolivia itself is beautiful and is probably better served with a guide than trying it on your own. If you decide on that path, you won’t go wrong with Wilderness.

The great elephant migration was a magnificent trip.
This was beyond the average Safari. This was up close and personal with lions, elephants, rhinos, hippos…
The camps we stayed at were very nice.Two of them were surrounded by elephants with the added experience of being true camps with outdoor showers. So much fun under the Southern Cross by campfire.
The trip varied in terms of sophisticated accommodations and camp accommodations. Our two guides Musa and Eric were very knowledgeable. Both so well educated in the wildlife and both natives of Zimbabwe.
We saw so much of life in Zimbabwe. We visited a school where we met school children. We visited a clinic. We also got to see elephants from an elephant blind and take amazing pictures.
I truly would recommend this trip for the adventurous traveler. Great food, great people and amazing experiences.

Recent trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand via Wilderness Travel was amazing. Great itinerary, local guides, hotels and optional activities. Highly recommend. Will definitely use them for future trips.

We had the most incredible time on our Zambia walking safari with Wilderness. The accommodations were superb and the food was amazing, especially at the mobile camps. Chef knows his stuff. Our guide, Jason was so knowledgeable and interesting. We were fortunate to have Jason as our guide for the entirety of the safari, something we understand you only get with Wilderness Travel. We highly recommend this adventure, and what an adventure it was!

I had the privilege of taking a trip to Turkey with Wilderness Travel. It was an incredibly special experience and the most memorable trip I've ever been on. The Wilderness Travel team puts so much thought into their itineraries and the guides are so knowledgeable and kind. You really feel taken care of! Wilderness Travel balances adventure and luxury so well. The food was incredible at every meal. We had the opportunity to hike, kayak, and snorkel. We learned about Turkish culture and history. It was all around an incredible trip that I will never forget!

We had a wonderful time on WT's Treasures of Mont Blanc: it wasn't just hiking but a variety of activities that allowed us into the communities/ways of life in this beautiful area. The passion and respect that our trip leaders had for this Alpine region was beautiful and humbling. Highly recommended!

We did the Bergamo to Innsbruck trip. This was our third Wilderness Trip. Could not recommend them more. High quality trip design, great hotels, incredible food, top notch guides, and phenomenal experiences. Can't wait for our next adventure.

In October 2023, we went with Wilderness Travel (WT) on their Pyramids to Petra small group trip. We have traveled with WT on over a dozen trips in the past two decades ranging from hiking trips to cultural trips and even using WT as an agent for our Antarctica expedition cruise. This trip to Egypt and Jordan was one of the best trips. The itinerary, hotels and ship, meals and other logistics were top notch. We have had many superb trip leaders in the past. However, Mohamed O. on the Pyramids to Petra trip was the best tour guide and trip leader we’ve ever had. His attention to details and his efforts to make sure that everyone was enjoying the trip was outstanding. Highly recommend this trip with Wilderness Travel.
