About Wildlife Adventure Africa

At Wildlife Adventure Africa, conservation isn’t just our work — it’s our way of life.

Founded in 2020 as a small, family-run initiative, our goal has always been to create meaningful, hands-on experiences that connect people from around the world with the heart of Africa’s wildlife and communities.

What started as a dream shared around the family table has grown into one of South Africa’s most trusted wildlife and veterinary experience programs — built on integrity, compassion, and adventure.

From the moment you arrive, you become part of our extended family. You’ll stay with us on our private wildlife reserve, guided and supported 24/7, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, real conservation work, and people who genuinely care about your experience.

Every guest who joins us leaves not only with new skills and memories — but with a lifelong connection to Africa, her people, and her wildlife.

A Family Business, United by Passion

Wildlife Adventure Africa is proudly family-founded and family-operated. Each of us plays a vital role in bringing these experiences to life — working together to make every moment personal, safe, and unforgettable.
