Wilderness Discoverer Safaris, are a luxurious range of African safari that take advantage of unique locations, taking guests on a spectacular journeys through remote wilderness areas to enjoy the most outstanding wildlife viewing in Africa. Our itineraries provide superb encounters with the wildest, most diverse, remote and scenic areas in each country.

The Discoverer safaris combine permanent safari camps with private, luxury mobile camps that are pre-erected prior to guests' arrival. These camps are always located in private areas, away from any crowds or public areas, and in exclusive wildlife areas.

The Discoverer safaris use "meru-style" tents for the mobile camp sites. The innovative design of these tents, with their hexagonal shape, walk-in structure and en-suite separate toilet and shower areas, allow for a sense of space, unmatched views, and privacy. The tent interiors create a sense of stepping back in time, 'Out-of-Africa'-style, with flowing linens of heavy, pure cotton, full-sized beds, and "old brass" finishes.

Paraffin hurricane lanterns and a crackling campfire set the evening safari ambience. Fresh, sumptuous meals are prepared around the fire by safari staff, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining area is under the stars (a dining tent is always set up in case of rain), lending that lovely "wilderness camping" feel to the night. A reference library is also available for bedtime reading.

Our scheduled African safaris feature frequent, scheduled departures, each accommodating small groups of up to 8 guests only (guaranteed with a minimum of 2 guests), thus ensuring a personalized experience.  All safaris are "non-participation" (meaning all cooking and camp work is performed by the safari staff) with old-style 'Out-of-Africa' safari comforts and amenities provided.

These safaris are expertly guided and hosted throughout by an experienced and fully trained professional guide, ensuring a seamless interpretation of a diversity of African safari experiences.  The guides are dedicated and committed individuals who love what they do and seek to share their knowledge and passion with their guests.  The guide remains with the group throughout the safari, ensuring that there is a consistent and detailed interpretation tailored to your specific interests.

The special feeling of the luxury mobile camping combined with the nights in the permanent camps make the Discoverer safaris the ultimate in private, luxury African tented lodge safaris.
