Wilderness Explorers

Wilderness Explorers is a Guyana-based eco-tourism operator headquartered in Georgetown, with a portfolio that spans the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana) and the wider Caribbean. The company promotes ecologically sensitive, community-linked tourism and acts as the on-ground operator for many of the country's lodge-based wildlife programmes. Their birding itineraries pair the easy Mahaica River and Georgetown Botanical Gardens with longer Rupununi savanna and rainforest circuits that take in Kaieteur Falls, the remote Rewa Rainforest and the Kanuku Mountains. Conservation collaborators including Leroy Ignacio and the Society for the Conservation and Study of Caribbean Birds are referenced in their materials, and the operator regularly works with the indigenous-owned Rewa and Surama community lodges that anchor sightings of Harpy Eagle, Guianan Cock-of-the-rock and Sun Parakeet.
