...then those 12 days are for you!
The idea of the Ladys Wilderness Experience started 5 years ago when Claudia did not have anybody who wanted to travel with her to South Africa.
She knew that there is so much more that she wants to discover in the world and about herself.
But traveling completely alone to Africa was simply too far out of her comfort zone. So she joined a group of 11 others. Everyday packed full of activities so she wished to have more time to process and more time for nature and animals as well as connect with people in the country without rushing from one event to the other.
The Lady’s Wilderness Experience is uniquely designed to truly connect with people in the village for example, at the traditional healer, and interact with the people in the Village at the Traditional Healer and with the Kids in the “Rethabile Disabled” Center.
Being in the wilderness, having enough time to see and experience wild animals, and enjoying this in a small group gives you the opportunity to reconnect with yourself and truly let everything you have experienced sink deeply into your soul.
Through the change of activity and relaxation (at the pool or the Spa-day) your body and your soul can have a profound experience, allowing you to process it on a much deeper level than rushing from one activity to another. This is simply easier in a small group.
It also allows you to have exclusive safari experiences without other participants who have other needs and interests.

Feedback from our clients
It was a dream Holiday, although it wasn’t only “Holiday” for me. It was so much more. Everything was tip top organised so that I could really dive in and not think about my to-do’s at home. For me it was more like coming home. You grow to my heart and yes it was hard to go back home. I am already thinking about when to come back :-). It was the perfect Holiday since a long time, perfect planned and a good variety of activities. What Memories I will bring back home: The Game drive where the Lions came close to our safari Vehicle and the morning Bushwalk with the Giraffes. I felt good like haven’t in a long time anymore, learned so much more than “just watching” an animal. Our conversations Claudia where really good for me and I will bring this new input back home trying to keep the new feeling up, at home. I learned: To see and know how an elephant poop looks like and I trying to read the tracks of animals and knowing the birds, was hard but I enjoyed it. Safari is so much more. Its about listen to your surrounding Area, searching for animals and finding them. I had a lot of fun with Isaac improving my english and you Claudia planned the trip perfectly even though I had 1 day delay with the plane. You can never get enough of those animals, now I understand why u are here, Claudia Wish u all the luck for your great company!

Dear Claudia, dear Isaac, dear Tinyiko and dear Angel! We want so say siabonga for guiding us – from finding the „right“ thing and decisions for our safari experience, empowering us to do it! Siabonga for joining us for dinners, for exchanging honest feelings and thoughts with us and especially Isaac and Claudia thanks for sharing your real passion for the bush with all its animal-friends and nature! Tinyiko, siabonga for your authentic delicious food and laughing and dancing, even
singing „Asimbonanga“ together and Angel, siabonga for your warm welcoming character and keeping the rooms nice and
comfortable! Siabonga to our ancestors, with whome we got in touch after visiting the local Sangoma with you! (traditional Healer) We enjoyed the days with you and at your place, although the weather and the cold temperatures haven‘t been too good! We got to know a bush-baby, which was a nice experience, we learned a lot about bush phenomenas and the local people in the village! We had 4 days with a perfect mix of relaxing, enjoying holiday and adventure (wind and rain in the treehouse or having wild buffalos in the neighborhood) ! We are very blessed that this experience made us feel like we get to know you as humans and not just feeling as „tourists“! We will keep you and all the Impressions of the bush of south africa in our heart! Yours Valerie and Lisa.

My impression of booking with Wild and Free Safaris was excellent! As moments and memories, I will bring back: “the lovely people and the georgeous animals”. I don’t know of anything you could do better. If somebody would ask me about my Safari, I would tell him: “I can’t even find the right words for this!” The Safaris I enjoyed the most but also the other activities where excellent! I would recommend Wild and Free Safaris 10 out of 10 times. “It was a pleasure to stay at the recommended Moya Lodge. All the organization from the team was perfectly”. Thanks for all….
