Wilder Magazine - Introduction to Issue One

Wilder is a platform for compelling and authentic storytelling. Stories of extraordinary places, people and experiences, through well-written, in-depth articles and striking photography. With a quarterly digital magazine and featured articles on our website, our aim is to inspire our readers to travel wilder – to explore new destinations and cultures, and to push personal boundaries through adventure travel. At the same time, we strive to set a sustainable standard, to encourage people to protect the places that they visit for future generations.

In each issue we feature interviews with a range of personalities – conservationists, photographers, extreme sport athletes – people who are excelling in their field, and with stories to inspire.

In this first issue, we present photo journals of stunning South American destinations, from the glacial valleys and steep ridges of the Andes in Argentina’s Neuquén Province, to the contrasting landscapes of Chile’s Atacama Desert and Torres del Paine National Park. We then explore the ancient Swahili ruins and isolated beaches of Kenya’s Manda Island, and feature Cameroon’s threatened Ebo Forest. We also hear from passionate environmental activist and adventurer, Ofir Drori, about his fight against wildlife crime and corruption across Africa, and his incredible escape from a Nile crocodile in Ethiopia’s Omo River. Lastly, we head to Tanzania’s Mahale National Park, one of the best places in the world to observe chimpanzees up close in the wild.
