On safari in your own four walls.
At times like these, wanderlust increases immeasurably. Especially in the winter months, the longing for sun and the escape from the cold is great. To bridge the waiting time until the next trip safely and motivated, ecosafari provider Wilderness Safaris brings all wilderness enthusiasts some African flair into your own four walls: from a digital safari, personalized recipes and live cooking classes from camp chefs to wilderness-inspired yoga poses for a workout at home.
When people can't travel to Africa, safari guide and wildlife photographer Eustace Matavire brings Africa to the people. From Wilderness Safaris Linkwasha Camp in Zimbabwe, he takes Africa enthusiasts on safari, digitally in these times, and explains the wonders of nature. In a series of entertaining and educational video sequences, he gives an insight into the family life of lions and their cubs, shows interactions with elephants and enables a special close-up encounter with a rare pangolin. The videos can be found on Wilderness Safaris' social media platforms: Instagram & Facebook.
A hearty beef stew, truffle samp and beans or roasted butternut, the Premier Camp chef, Freedom Nxele, regularly shares his favorite recipes on Wilderness Safaris' social media channels and inspires for African cuisine. Chef Tonderai Chipfupi from Mombo Camp in the Okavango Delta also gives his personal instructions for pizza baking on Facebook. He is accompanied by Alfred Muswaka, Mombo's sommelier, who gives his recommendations for the perfect combination of pizza and wine. A good cocktail is popular with guests at Bisate Lodge in Rwanda and the ideal accompaniment to any meal. On its own Wilderness Safaris online blog, the eco-safari provider presents its favorite Bisate cocktails, which can be created and sampled during a cosy evening at home. Shake, strain and enjoy!
Wilderness Safaris has put together fun, wilderness-inspired yoga exercises for those sitting at home in lockdown and craving exercise or a sporty workout. Whether the "Downward Wild Dog", the "Botswana Warrior" or the "Cape Cobra", the motto is always "Make nature your studio".
Since 1983, Wilderness Safaris has been dedicated to protecting and restoring Africa's wilderness and wildlife by creating life-changing journeys and inspiring positive action. The ecotourism provider is the leading one in Africa and impresses with its sustainability and authenticity. The specialty: bush and wildlife experiences in the completely or almost untouched and very remote areas of Africa. Wilderness offers its guests access to almost 2.5 million hectares of African flora and fauna, while paying strict attention to the protection of our planet's precious and unique cultural and natural resources.
