Booking your safari with Virgin Wilderness Safaris offers a level of expertise, personalization, and on-the-ground support that goes far beyond standard online booking platforms.
As a locally rooted safari specialist, Virgin Wilderness Safaris brings first-hand knowledge of East Africa's most iconic areas, hidden gems, and wildlife patterns. Our team understands exactly when and where to go for the best sightings and experiences.

By choosing Virgin Wilderness Safaris, you directly support local communities and conservation initiatives. We prioritize sustainable practices that protect wildlife and preserve natural habitats.

Start with the experience that inspires you, then we shape it around destination, season and pace.
We believe the best safaris are ones that leave the wild places better than we found them. Every journey we design supports local conservation efforts, community-led tourism and responsible travel practices across East Africa.
We partner with conservancies and wildlife trusts that protect habitats and fund anti-poaching efforts across Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda.
We prioritise lodges and camps that employ locally, invest in schools and health clinics, and share tourism revenue directly with the communities that host our guests.
Small group sizes, eco-certified properties and considered routing that minimises environmental impact while maximising the quality of your experience.
