Our Story
Where Science, Humanity,
and the Wild Come Together
Wanyamameans Wildlife in Swahili — representing raw wilderness, exclusivity, freedom, and transformative journeys beyond ordinary tourism.
Wanyama WildEscape was born not from a business plan, but from a life lived fully — across laboratories, remote communities, ancient forests, and the open savannas of Africa. Founded by Dr Hemakshi Nikhar, every journey we design carries the depth of lived experience, scientific curiosity, and a profound love for the wild.
We specialise in bespoke, private safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Uganda, and Rwanda — crafting itineraries that go far beyond the ordinary, into the heart of what makes Africa unlike anywhere else on Earth.
✦ Personally curated by Dr Hemakshi Nikhar— Founder & Lead Curator
What we offer
Crafted experiences,
not packaged tours
Every journey is composed for one guest, one family, one small circle. Choose the way you want to meet Africa.
02
Gorilla & Chimp Trekking
Stand in the quiet presence of a silverback in Rwanda's mist-cloaked Volcanoes. Few journeys move a person as deeply.
03
Walking Safaris
On foot, with a tracker who reads the bush like a book. South Luangwa at dawn, where the land speaks first.
04
Luxury Tented Camps
Canvas and copper, linen and lantern light. Camps where the wild comes to you and the stars feel close enough to touch.
05
Aerial Experiences
Hot-air balloon over the Mara at sunrise. Helicopter over Victoria Falls. Africa from above is a revelation.
06
Cultural Immersions
Sit with a Maasai elder. Cook with a Swahili family in Lamu. Journeys that honour the people as much as the places.
