WildyNess, a sustainability-focused travel platform headquartered in Tunis that links mindful travelers with genuine local adventures, has secured an undisclosed pre-seed funding round jointly led by Bridging Angels and the African Diaspora Network.
Established in 2021 by Achraf Aouadi and Rym Bourguib, WildyNess designs community-based tourism (CBT) experiences in partnership with local micro-businesses, promoting cultural authenticity while driving local economic growth.
Since its inception, the startup has generated over USD 300K in organic sales without resorting to paid marketing, establishing itself as a leading platform for authentic travel experiences across North Africa.
The freshly secured funds will enable the company to broaden its presence into Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the UAE while enhancing its technological infrastructure.
According to its investors, WildyNess represents a new generation of focused African entrepreneurs who blend impact, creativity, and customer-centricity to reshape the future of travel.
