Transformative Luxury Safaris with Rewild Safaris

Rewild Safaris crafts immersive journeys that connect travelers with the heart of nature, blending adventure, conservation, and unparalleled luxury.

High-net-worth individuals crave extraordinary adventures, from remote African savannas to untouched corners of Asia and Patagonia. Luxury safaris, particularly African safaris, are bucket list experiences, offering exclusivity and transformative moments in the wild.

James Ward’s Vision for Rewild Safaris

James Ward, Chief Exploration Officer at Rewild Safaris, has guided prominent figures, including the former CEO of Coca-Cola, on over 10 safari adventures spanning decades. “At 15, I traveled to Tanzania with my family,” Ward recalls. “Witnessing the Serengeti’s great migration and trekking Rwanda’s rainforests to see mountain gorillas was humbling. It sparked a lifelong passion for conservation and immersive travel.”

Rewild Safaris offers affluent travelers personalized, meaningful experiences that go beyond traditional luxury. Ward’s 25-year career alongside conservation groups focused on creating sustainable income for local communities. “Eco-tourism is a game-changer,” he says. “It funds conservation, creates opportunities, and weaves travelers into stories that matter.”

Conservation-Driven Adventures

Partnering with conservationists Tom LaRock and Steve Kanakanui, Ward reimagines safaris through his lens as a conservation photographer. “I’ve tracked rhinos on foot, camped to photograph Alaskan brown bears, and watched lemurs in Madagascar’s forests,” he shares. “We want travelers to feel that intimacy with the wild—authentic, personal, and unforgettable.”

Rewild’s clients, from seasoned travelers to philanthropists, seek something wilder. “They’ve stayed at the world’s finest hotels and visited iconic destinations like the Amalfi Coast or Maldives,” Ward explains. “But they want to feel alive, to rewild their perspective through experiences like tracking Namibia’s desert-adapted lions, joining Patagonia’s rewilding efforts, or sailing Komodo’s islands on a traditional phinisi yacht.”

Barefoot Elegance: Redefining Luxury

Rewild Safaris delivers experiential luxury—exceptional accommodations, gourmet cuisine, and seamless service, all grounded in authentic connection. Many clients crave simplicity, favoring elegant tented camps over extravagant amenities. “Luxury is waking to lion roars or watching elephants at a moonlit waterhole,” Ward says. “It’s barefoot elegance—camps that feel like home, with staff who feel like family.”

Travelers connect deeply with wildlife, land, and local communities. Partnerships with organizations like the International Rhino Foundation, Wildlife Madagascar, Rewilding Chile, and Hutan bring clients into real conservation work—monitoring rhinos in Zimbabwe, tracking lemurs in Madagascar, or releasing Darwin’s Rheas in Patagonia.

Iconic and Off-the-Map Destinations

Pre-planned safaris start at $10,000 per person, with custom options offering endless possibilities. Popular destinations include Africa’s Okavango Delta, Serengeti, and Maasai Mara, where Rewild guides travelers to quieter, conservation-focused corners. Emerging hotspots like Namibia offer raw, unforgettable experiences tracking desert-adapted lions and rhinos.

Madagascar stands out with its unique ecosystems. “Ninety percent of its wildlife is endemic,” Ward notes. “Travelers explore rainforests and tsingy formations while supporting conservation.” Patagonia’s new national park and Tierra del Fuego’s remote Karukinka and Yendegaia parks offer solitude and stunning landscapes. Borneo-to-Komodo journeys combine rainforest adventures with orangutans and luxury sailing through Komodo National Park, spotting dragons and manta rays.
