Now going into its seventh year of operation, this initiative continues to run highly successful programmes in Wilderness Safaris camps in Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, South Africa and the Seychelles. This year Zambia ran its first Children in the Wilderness Camp and we are very hopeful that next year the programme will extend to include Zimbabwe. Once this happens, the Children in the Wilderness programme will be formally operational in the seven southern African countries in which Wilderness Safaris operates.

Fundraising as always is an ongoing and a vital element to the success of the programme. In July this year we the third Tour de Kruger and Great Limpopo cycle event took place, as well as many individuals who pushed their personal boundaries to raise money for the children of Africa.
