Explore Wilderness Safaris is a proudly Botswana-based safari company founded by Shadreck Tshegane, a seasoned professional guide with over 20 years of hands-on experience in the wilderness.
Having spent decades leading unforgettable safaris across Botswana’s most iconic destinations, Shadreck built a reputation for excellence, working with several top-tier safari companies. His deep knowledge of the bush, unmatched tracking skills, and warm, engaging personality have made him a favorite among international travelers and nature lovers alike.
Driven by a passion for nature and a desire to offer more personalized and authentic safari experiences, Shadreck founded Explore Wilderness Safaris. His mission: to share the raw beauty of Botswana with guests in a way that is immersive, sustainable, and unforgettable.
At Explore Wilderness Safaris, we believe in authenticity, safety, and genuine connection—with nature, with local culture, and with our guests. Whether you’re exploring the vast Okavango Delta, the remote Kalahari Desert, or the wildlife-rich Chobe National Park, you’ll be guided by people who live and breathe the wilderness.
Safari Vehicle
At Explore Wilderness Safaris, we prioritize both comfort and functionality to ensure a seamless and immersive safari experience. Our fleet consists of customized 4×4 open safari vehicles, which are specifically modified for the rugged terrain and diverse environments of Botswana’s wilderness.
Each vehicle is equipped with:
A coolerbox to keep drinks cool and refreshments readily available during your game drives.
Onboard power inverters, allowing guests to conveniently charge essential electronic devices such as cameras, laptops, smartphones, and tablets (iPhones and iPads included) while on the move.
To ensure a spacious and enjoyable experience, each safari vehicle accommodates a maximum of eight guests. This allows for ample room for equipment and personal space. During peak travel periods or for larger groups, we deploy two vehicles, maintaining our commitment to guest comfort and personalized service.
In addition to our game-drive vehicles, we operate a dedicated support vehicle. This fully equipped transport unit carries all camping gear, food supplies, and logistical equipment, enabling our mobile safari teams to set up and manage remote campsites efficiently—ensuring you focus on the adventure while we handle the details.
With Explore Wilderness Safaris, every detail of your journey—from the vehicle you ride in to the equipment that supports your comfort—has been thoughtfully prepared to deliver an unforgettable safari experience.
