About Wild Tomorrow
Wild Tomorrow is a wildlife conservation non-profit founded in 2015 with a mission to protect threatened and endangered species and the habitats they depend on for survival.
Wild Tomorrow’s journey to save habitat began in 2017 when the team visited a 500-hectare property that was on the brink of being destroyed for monoculture pineapple farming. Acting with urgency, and thanks to the generosity of supporters, Wild Tomorrow was able to purchase the land just in time.
They named it Ukuwela—a Zulu word meaning "to cross over." The name was fitting: by protecting Ukuwela, they opened the door for wildlife to one day cross over from the neighboring Munyawana Protected Game Reserve. This vision would depend on a future agreement to remove the fences that separated the two reserves.
Through further research Wild Tomorrow realized that by acquiring several adjoining properties to Ukuwela, they could create a continuous stretch of protected land reaching all the way to iSimangaliso Wetland Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This would establish a vital wildlife corridor between Munyawana and iSimangaliso, enabling animals to move freely between these two critical wild areas.
Eight years and seven land acquisitions later, Wild Tomorrow has achieved its goal. There is now an uninterrupted protected wild area between Munyawana and iSimangaliso. While the fences have not yet been removed, the corridor is now in place—already allowing many species, capable of moving over, under or through fencing, to safely traverse the landscape.
Expanding protected areas through land acquisition, restoration, and rewilding remains Wild Tomorrow’s primary mission.
About Wild Tomorrow Experiences
Since acquiring Ukuwela in 2017, Wild Tomorrow has welcomed visitors from around the world to actively engage in its conservation work. The response has been profound—those who experience Wild Tomorrow’s mission firsthand leave with a deeper appreciation for the vital need to protect biodiversity.
For some guests, the revelation comes from witnessing how small improvements to damaged landscapes can breathe new life into entire ecosystems. Others find meaning in joining the team for rhino horn trimmings, a crucial preventative measure against poaching. Still others are moved by visits to the local community, where Wild Tomorrow’s education programs are making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Nearly every visitor can point to a personal moment when they truly understand the vital importance of safeguarding wildlife and wild places, and supporting people that border protected areas.
