WHO IS THE GIRL IN THE WILDERNESS ?

Antje Mouton - Original Girl in the Wilderness

SERVICES

Female-led. Safe. Purpose-driven. Made for adventurous women



There is a moment—somewhere between the first sunrise over the savannah and the hush of a lion’s roar echoing through the dark—when a woman remembers who she is. Girl in the Wilderness was born for that moment.


We are a female-led safari brand empowering women through women-only safaris, self-drive adventures, and luxury private journeys across Southern and East Africa. Our mission is simple: to make the wilderness accessible, safe, soulful, and unforgettable for women—especially those travelling solo.






Here, you are not a passenger in someone else’s story.
 You are the explorer. The adventurer. The author of your own wild chapter.

Women-Only Safaris

For sisterhood, empowerment, and shared adventure. Join small-group, women-only safaris guided by expert female safari guides who understand the unique needs, concerns, and desires of women travelling in Africa. Safe. Supportive. Inclusive.

For the woman who wants her hands on the wheel—literally.
Guided self-drive itineraries and hosted Jimny expeditions designed to give women the confidence, skills, and freedom to explore Africa on their own terms. We provide the route, the gear, the guidance, and the backup support—you own the road, the story, and the adventure.

Self-Drive Safaris for Women
Luxury Female-Led Safaris

Private, luxury safaris for women who crave connection, comfort, and deep wilderness experiences. Boutique lodges, exceptional guiding, and journeys crafted around you—wellness, photography, big cats, culture, or conservation.

Conservation Activities

For the woman who wants to make her mark!  Our hands-on conservation safaris invite women to take part in meaningful wildlife protection. Track rhinos with rangers, assist vets during collaring operations, work alongside anti-poaching K9 units, or help collect data in the field.
It’s not about watching from the sidelines, it’s about standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the people protecting Africa’s future.
