Sundowners. In our opinion the perfect way to end the day.

There’s nothing quite like that feeling—unwinding with friends old and new, reflecting on an unforgettable day, and soaking in the golden glow of the setting sun.

The best part is this magic doesn't have to end once you are home, pour yourself a drink outside while watching the sunlight fade and remember the magical memories of Africa ✨

We have worked with so many solo travelers wanting to explore Africa and let me tell you it is totally doable and totally tailored to your desires. My suggestion is to just say “yes” and start planning your trip.

The way we work with our single clients is to explore their needs, desires and budget – then we curate an experience that is all about your desires. Of course we give you what you want, but also what you need! We'll have guides with you in Cape Town for example who takes you to visit the sights and experiences every day, we help organize your restaurants and we always have someone meet you off aircrafts, help with Customs & Immigration and transfers are private to your hotels. On safari, we know you’ll meet up with other guests on safari and have an amazing experience. Every client of ours, whether single or multiple families, is treated to our TLC, our tender loving care motto. We love all our clients, we know you’re spending a lot of money to travel to Africa and our mission is to make sure you are being taken care of every step of the journey.

And if you are a solo traveler interested in traveling with a group of other like-minded individuals, let us know. We can add you to our list to know first about our next Wander trip!

One of the things we love most is creating safaris that are just right for you. If your idea of a perfect trip means avoiding the crowds and exploring quieter, more remote areas, we’ll make sure that happens. We work closely with trusted local guides who know those off-the-beaten-path spots and take care of your every need.

And there’s so much more to safari than game drives — think walking safaris, canoeing, and even sunset dinners in the bush. If you’re looking for something special, we’ll help you find it.

We share lots of travel tips on our newsletter and this is a BIG ONE!

If you do a lot of air travel, priority pass can be a game-changer. It provides you access to over 1,700 airport lounges in 600 cities and 145 countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and more!

The lounge gives you a comfortable and quiet space to rest or work between flights with free wifi, complimentary food and drinks, TV's, plenty of outlets and recharging stations, and airport flight info. Some lounges have amenities such as showers and changing rooms, sleeping pods, outdoor lounge spaces, and more. In Punta Cana, you can even take a dip in a swimming pool overlooking the tarmac.

The great thing about Priority Pass is that anyone can join. They have different plans to fit different budgets and levels of traveler.The best part is you might already have access through your premium credit card, so check those perks before your next trip!

Sandy swears by this program after she faced multiple flight cancellations at the airport. Having Priority Pass turned this stressful situation into a much more comfortable one.

Wild and Free — Like It Should Be.

Happy World Wildlife Day! Today, we’re celebrating the beauty and wonder of Africa’s untamed creatures. Every safari is a chance to connect with nature, support conservation efforts, and create memories that last a lifetime.

What is a unique experience or activity that travelers often overlook?

First-time travelers are often quite focused on the traditional safari experience - understandably so! But there are so many special, once-in-a-lifetime experiences outside of traditional safari that are just waiting to be enjoyed. For example, there are lots of ways that visitors can get out on the water - whether that's on a motorized boat safari, a peaceful canoe ride, fishing excursion, or even a snorkel or scuba experience. And if you're a beach person, a few nights at a luxury beach resort - for example in Zanzibar, Mozambique, Kenya, or South Africa - is the perfect relaxing end to an action-packed safari.

On dry land, there are lots of ways to get more involved than just a safari drive - there are opportunities to learn about anti-poaching initiatives, to assist in conservation activities like rhino notching, to plant trees to help with reforestation, to interact with local communities on a cultural or volunteer experience, and so much more!

This is why we ask so many questions when we first start working with our clients - the more we know about you and your interests, the more we can tailor your trip to be perfectly yours, filled with special experiences you may not have known are even possible.

Head over to our website to chat with Kati and plan your perfect one-of-a-kind safari!

Happy World Pangolin Day!

Pangolins may be Africa’s most elusive creatures, but they’re also among its most endangered. With their unique, scaly armor, they’re vital to maintaining the balance of ecosystems by controlling insect populations. Sadly, they’re also the world’s most trafficked mammals.

Today, let’s raise awareness and support efforts to protect these incredible animals.

A safari is an unforgettable adventure for travelers of all ages, even kids! If you are planning on traveling with your kids, there are some things to consider, but we will help you navigate every step of the way!

Age: Some lodges welcome all ages, but many have age limits (8, 12, or 16+). Always check before booking.
Activities: Walking safaris & some experiences are best for teens and adults.
Health: Consider malaria-free zones if your kids can’t take preventive meds.

Our picks? Victoria Falls for adventure, Cape Town for family fun, or kid-friendly lodges like with animal encounters, botanical safaris, and even a kids’ program! Safaris are unforgettable for the whole family—my kids still talk about theirs years later.
