our why

Wild Wonderful World is a funding entity that empowers African wildlife conservation projects with the resources they need to protect and preserve our wild spaces.

We work to protect wildlife because we believe it is the right thing to do. If everyone fights one corner, supports one project that protects one area, we create hope for success. Our choices today change our world tomorrow and no matter where you are in the world, everyone can #IgniteChange and make a difference for the better. We believe the future of Africa’s wildlife is not someone else’s responsibility. Every donor, every journey and every act of support can help protect it.

WHAT WE DO

Connecting donors to projects, turning funding into protection.
‍
Critical conservation work is often delayed by funding gaps and complicated fundraising processes. To restore, protect and enhance wilderness areas and the species within them, we take immediate action to help animals in need, and fund longer term projects that are pioneering solutions to help conserve wildlife into the future.

With thousands of conservation charities and projects out there, decision fatigue is a big limiting factor for donors to take the leap and support a cause they care about. We connect passionate funders with passionate projects that make a real impact for wildlife conservation.

Through relationships developed over decades of working in the wildlife industry, we have built a broad network of connections within the African conservation sphere. We have access to confidential information, new exciting projects and first-hand experience of what’s needed on the ground. This enables us to select projects based on maximised impact for preserving wild spaces, so that you can rest assured your donation is generating the highest possible impact.

We focus our funding in four pillars: Rapid Response, Anti-poaching, Flying for Conservation, and Coexistence & Research.

A sustainable funding MODEL

We operate a 100% donation model: 100% of donations received to our Conservation Fund goes directly into buying research equipment, veterinary supplies, and to teams on the ground. We are able to do this because our sister safari company covers all administrative expenses and overheads of our conservation work. Sustainable funding is generated from our safaris, with a minimum of 1% of total safari booking value donated to the Wild Wonderful World Conservation Fund. This unique model reassures our donors that their funds actually reach the conservation projects that are making a real difference on the front lines.

“Wild Wonderful World are really conservation focused, in a hands-on way, we have done some amazing wildlife conservation experiences with them and we are now regular donors to their conservation fund.” - Chris & Anna
