Wild Horizons is pleased to announce the appointment of Ace Connect, led by Alpa Jani, as its official sales and marketing representative for the Indian market. This strategic partnership reflects Wild Horizons’ commitment to strengthening its presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing outbound travel markets and building long-term relationships with the Indian travel trade.
With over four decades of experience, Wild Horizons has been creating exceptional travel experiences across Southern Africa since 1981. Renowned as one of the region’s leading hospitality, adventure tourism companies, Wild Horizons offers an unmatched portfolio spanning luxury lodges, adventure activities, transfers, guided touring and wildlife experiences across Victoria Falls, Livingstone, and Chobe.
Speaking on the partnership, Shane White, Chief Marketing Officer, Wild Horizons, said:
“India has emerged as one of the most promising source markets for luxury and experiential travel. Indian travellers today are seeking authentic, immersive journeys and exceptional service—qualities that define the Wild Horizons experience. Partnering with Ace Connect allows us to engage more closely with the Indian travel trade while expanding awareness of our diverse portfolio across Southern Africa. Our focus is on building understanding of what Wild Horizons offers among agents and operators in this market, while continuing to respect and support the traditional booking channels that have long served our trade partners. We are pleased to have Ace Connect represent our brand in this important market.”
Commenting on the appointment, Alpa Jani, CEO of Ace Connect, said:
“Wild Horizons is one of Southern Africa’s most respected tourism brands, offering a unique combination of luxury lodges, adventure, wildlife, conservation and destination expertise. The spectacular beauty and wonder of Victoria Falls, combined with Wild Horizons’ distinctive lodges offering affordable luxury, makes it an ideal choice for Indian travellers seeking exceptional experiences, a strong connection with nature. We are excited to introduce the brand to our travel partners across India and build meaningful, long-term business for Wild Horizons.”
What distinguishes Wild Horizons is its ability to manage nearly every aspect of a guest’s journey under one trusted brand—from luxury accommodation to adventure activities and wildlife experiences. Its collection includes the award-winning The Elephant Camp, Old Drift Lodge, The Wallow Lodge and Waterfalls Lodge.
Equally important is Wild Horizons’ commitment to responsible tourism. As a Travelife Partner and Fair Trade Tourism Approved operator, the company actively supports conservation and community initiatives through the Wild Horizons Wildlife Sanctuary, its partnership with UNICEF Zimbabwe and several wildlife and community development programmes in Victoria Falls.
The appointment of Ace Connect marks an important milestone in Wild Horizons’ international growth strategy as the company continues to strengthen its presence in India and inspire a new generation of Indian travellers to experience the extraordinary landscapes, wildlife and hospitality of Southern Africa.
