ABOUT US
ABOUT
Once Wild
We are lovers of Africa and her wild places. We have a deep respect for these raw wilderness areas. Over the years more and more operators have started businesses and more and more agents have started sending clients on these journeys. We love this.
However, increasingly, the market has become saturated with suppliers that are not giving back to the areas in which they operate and not uplifting the communities that are the custodians of the wildlife. Simultaneously, the market has become saturated with travel agents that do not know the lodges they work with and simply sell the package with the best discount or that is the easiest to sell.
We have a passion
For Africa
Once Wild is born from a desire to share our passion for Africa with others through meticulously curated, bespoke journeys. And at the same time, work with suppliers that do good and give back. Once Wild is a curator of travel experiences that are designed to take you to places you’ve never been whilst simultaneously having a positive impact on the communities and the wildlife that are the custodians of these precious places.
HAND PICKED
Suppliers
We work with a selection of hand-picked suppliers that share our DNA. Operators that don’t talk-the-talk but walk-the-talk. The lodges and experiences we work with are committed to having a tangible impact in shaping a brighter future for this beautiful continent.
Our goal is travel that embodies internal joy and growth with tangible outcomes for the external environment.
Bespoke Itineraries
Our goal is to offer bespoke itineraries that are designed around you and what you hope to achieve by going on your trip. By engaging with you and understanding what it is you really want or don’t know what you want, your journey is personalised and tailored to you. In a space clustered with packages that are chosen due to the best discount or whatever is easiest, we go against the grain and back to truly curated travel.
Environmentally responsible
We only work with suppliers that have a proven track record of giving back to the communities and wildlife in the areas in which they operate.
We Give Back
At the end of every year, we take 2,5% of our nett profit and donate it to a project that we have decided to support. In doing so, we want to show a shared value chain in which both operators and agents are giving back to the people and places that lead us there in the first place.
