Created by Wildlife ACT, the WILD Collection started with a need for reliable, well-made uniforms for our team, working long days in the field. At the same time, volunteers and supporters were asking for meaningful keepsakes. Something they could take home that reflected their experience, their connection to wildlife, and the work they had been part of. From there, The WILD Collection was born.
Over time, the Collection developed into a passion and expanded into coffee, stationery, gifts, and lifestyle pieces. The Wildlife ACT team is deeply involved in the curation of the range from start to finish, from early ideas and design through to sourcing, packing, and sharing each product. Some items are even lovingly handmade by our team and supporters, adding another layer of care and connection to every piece.
Each product is inspired by nature and bush life in South Africa, shaped by the wild spaces Wildlife ACT operates in, and influenced by the species and stories encountered along the way. They are designed to be used, lived with, and kept as reminders of time spent connected to the natural world.
The WILD Collection is run by an all female team of Wildlife ACT staff who balance this passion-driven venture alongside their roles within the NPO. Every decision is made with intention and heart, guided by a genuine belief in what the Collection represents and the role it plays in supporting Wildlife ACT.
At its core, The WILD Collection is about connection. Connection to wildlife, to place, and to the people who choose to support conservation in practical, meaningful ways. It exists because conservation does not end when you leave the bush. Sometimes, it continues in the small, everyday things you carry with you.
