Wilderness Little Vumbura

The impact of your stay:

Wilderness, in collaboration with CLAWS, is making strides in stabilising lion populations in the Northern Okavango Delta through the Pride in Our Prides project. This initiative involves providing lion collars that serve as a crucial tool to alert community members when lions approach their villages. These collars are linked to virtual fences, or geofences, automatically activating alerts upon the proximity of a collared lion. This innovative approach significantly reduces lion/livestock mortalities, fostering a harmonious coexistence between communities and wildlife. The Wilderness school infrastructure programme is actively enhancing access to education for children residing in rural areas around wildlife protected zones in Botswana. By improving learning environments, this initiative contributes to the educational development of children in these remote regions. Having strategically placed camps across the continent, Wilderness has successfully conserved over 2.3 million hectares of land. With ambitious aspirations for the future, they aim to expand this conservation effort to 5 million hectares by 2030. This vision underscores Wilderness’s commitment to preserving natural landscapes on a substantial scale.
