Wilderness Safaris, a leading ecotourism and conservation company specializing in wildlife experiences in Africa, offers a network of camps providing both WiFi-connected locations and areas off the grid. The network was developed in order to cater to those who would like to connect and share their experiences in certain camps as well as those who desire to remain unequivocally disconnected and want to get away from it all.

“We regard this as an important part of what we stand for and encourage … in other words, a world where natural ecosystems are valued and appreciated, with some resistance applied to the inexorable advance of man and technology. It is our strong belief that we simply have to contribute to keeping some areas of the planet wild and remote,” said Chris Roche, chief marketing officer, Wilderness Safaris.

Each camp page on the Wilderness website distinguishes between “WiFi Free” and “Free WiFi” with icons. For a full list of both, visit the website.

“We will also do our best to communicate this to all guests who choose to travel to our remote wilderness areas so that they are then empowered to choose the camps best suited to their needs and to make the decision to disconnect (or not) on their own,” said Roche.

Completely disconnected camps for those who want to genuinely enjoy the natural space around them include Desert Rhino Camp, Hoanib Skeleton Coast and Serra Cafema in Namibia; Savuti, Mombo, Little Mombo, Pelo, Jacana, Xigera and Banoka in Botswana; Linkwasha, Little Makalolo, Ruckomechi and Little Ruckomechi in Zimbabwe; and Basanga Bush Camp and Shumba in Zambia.
