Updates and journal entries from the Wilderness

Now Live: Our New Website
Wilderness Seekers captures the untamed spirit of tourism, connecting vibrant destinations with passionate travel specialists. We’re thrilled to announce our new website is live, now featuring two incredible additions: Sisini Nature Camp and Sisini Sanctuary Camp in the Central Serengeti.

Off Track in the Serengeti
Discover Tanzania’s wild side with Serengeti Wilderness Camps, each strategically located within Serengeti National Park to follow the Great Migration. Offering authentic safari experiences in extraordinary, off-the-beaten-path settings, our camps guide you from sweeping savannahs to intimate wilderness hideaways, creating an unforgettable journey through some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes.

FAM Trips Alert!
Wild Frontiers has announced the dates for their 2025 FAM trips to Uganda and Tanzania, offering travel specialists firsthand experience and the tools to sell with confidence. From gorilla trekking through Bwindi’s misty slopes and chimpanzee encounters in Kibale to game drives across iconic safari destinations, you’ll stay at Wild Frontiers’ camps and hand-picked lodges, enjoy site inspections, and experience the highlights your clients dream about.

The Call of Bwindi
Perched on the edge of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Buhoma Lodge is more than a place to stay, it’s a front-row seat to one of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife encounters. Just steps from the gorilla trekking trailhead, guests wake to the forest’s sounds and return after an unforgettable day on the mountain to warm hospitality and understated comfort.

There’s something truly special about Amaya, perhaps it’s the way morning light filters through the trees, or how evenings stretch beneath a sky full of stars. Here, luxury feels effortless, not showy.
