A WILD IDEAL The travel industry has always had ’trends’ with go-to destinations and excursions proving popular some years more than others. With this year’s world-wide pandemic, we’re likely to see people wanting new ways to travel and experience holidays. One of these new trends is a desire to book places where guests can enjoy time devoid of crowds – places that offer stillness, isolation and privacy. Wilderness Safaris camps, situated in remote and pristine wilderness areas are ideal for travellers seeking wide open spaces and an intimate safari experience and here’s its top 4: 1.LITTLE DUMA TAU, BOTSWANA A Premier camp with the new DumaTau (currently undergoing a rebuild) comprises four suites, ideal for privacy and small groups.
