...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
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….
We are so thankful, that we have booked your “Ladys Wilderness Experience” – program. You planned the trip perfectly. The mix between safaris, relaxation and exploring the country and the culture was great. We had stunning moments with the wild animals – especially elephants and lions. At our game drives and bush walks you both have been great guids, in particular Isaac’s knowledge about the animals and the bush is very impressive.
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… 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.
Durch die Reise hab ich mehr im Gefühl “was tut mir gut” , “was nicht”. Ich bin Komfortzone gegangen, nicht nur einmal und bin dankbar bei diesen Steps, Claudia als Coach an meiner Seite gehabt zu haben, die mir die richtigen Fragen im Moment gestellt hat. Es sind die Momente am Safari Jeep, die in einer gewissen Art und Weise für Klarheit und ein “im Moment sein” sorgen. Man fühlt sich lebendig, als Teil der Natur. Dieses Gefühl hält auch nach Afrika an und erweckt die Sehnsucht nach “Wieder-Erleben”. Danke Claudia & Isaac!
Our accommodation was excellent. KrugerPark was our favourite. Beeing so close to nature and Wildlife will stay in our memories. Also our Big 5 Bushdinner was very special. Safari, a must do at least once in a lifetime. Thank you for making our Honeymoon so special, caring about all details. You are doing a great Job. And I had tears in my eyes when I saw the the video from our Honeymoon.
Dank euch Beiden war die Reise hier noch um einiges schöner (als zuvor Gardenroute). Ihr seid so liebevolle Menschen u. wir haben es so genossen. Wir würden die Reise absolut weiterempfehlen!!! Das komplette Programm mit der Abholung am Flughafen ist bis zum letzten Detail perfekt geplant. Man hat sich komplett aufgefangen gefühlt und der Austausch mit euch hat sich angefühlt, als würde man sich schon ewig kennen. Die Aufteilung zwischen Ausflügen u. Freizeit war sehr gut. Hier haben wir endlich “das echte Afrika kennengelernt. “So hab ich mir vorgestellt, authentisch und echt.”
Als pensionierte Hotelfachkraft kann ich sagen: Absolut professionelle Ausführung unseres Safari Packages. Top Organisation, immer “on Time”, wunderschöne Unterkunft, guter Service und sehr gutes Essen. Ganz speziell war unser Big 5 Bushdinner. Claudia und Isaac, 100% Weiterempfehlung.
…although it wasn’t only “Holiday” for me. It was so much more. Everything was tip top organized 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 animals….

The individuals behind Wild and Free Safaris
Throughout his life, Isaac has been passionate about nature and wildlife. The experience he has gained from building tree houses and working with white lions spans more than 12 years. He has always dreamed of becoming a guide and running his own company. Almost a decade ago, Isaac decided to pursue his dream of becoming a guide, for Safaris. The bush was his home and he had the skills and experience he needed to lead tours, telling people about his country and the times when he tracked his friend’s footprints while they were still kids looking after cows. It was here that he became an excellent Tracker before even realizing that he wanted to become a Guide.
In 2018, Isaac and Claudia met when Claudia was doing her Safari Guide Training and diving into Lodge management during her third long stay in South Africa. Claudia has gained a great deal of experience over the past 22 years. She worked in hotels, cafes, restaurants, and managed an organic store for several years after obtaining a degree in hospitality. Her career change into Life Coaching/Psychological Counseling, where she obtained her Business License almost a decade ago, led to the birth of a complete knowledge path. Additionally, she obtained a Diploma in Animal Communication, gained experience in a Therapy Group, did animal therapy and helped autistic children at school.
Additionally, she started her own business specializing in family constellations and energy work with animals and humans, where she also educated those who wanted to learn that too. Her understanding of the power of minds, energies, and creativity grew throughout all those years. As “Miss Possible”, she supports especially woman in this capacity. They began creating “Life changing Journeys” by bringing others, especially women, on unforgettable safari journeys through the wilderness, after Claudia followed her biggest dream and moved to South Africa with her Therapy Dog, Cora.
