Wander Beyond Boundaries

Our Origin & Evolution

Wander Beyond Boundaries (WBB) began in 2015 as Women Beyond Boundaries, when founder Nidhi Salgame drove a 4 × 4 from Delhi to London on a first-of-its-kind overland expedition. That 24,000-km, 17-country journey captured the spirit that still defines us: go beyond the map—and beyond who you think you are.

In 2018 Nidhi partnered in life and business with Colonel Satendar (“Satty”) Malik. Together they re-imagined the initiative as Wander Beyond Boundaries, leading more than 30 small-group 4 × 4 expeditions across deserts, highlands, and coastlines worldwide. These were not package tours, rallies, or competitions. We reconnoitred every kilometre in advance, curated low-impact routes far from tourist crowds, and moved at the pace of the slowest vehicle—because an expedition only succeeds when the entire team reaches the horizon together.

When Col. Malik passed away in 2021, Nidhi steered WBB forward, publishing India’s first off-road guidebook & app for the Government of Nagaland and launching signature drives such as Road to Siberia (2023) and Africa to Arabia (2024).

A New Chapter in Africa

In 2025 WBB formalised its global footprint as WBB Global FZ LLC (UAE) and WBB Africa Ltd. (Kenya). Now based in East Africa—and drawing on Nidhi’s lifelong commitment to wildlife as a professional PADI Scuba Instructor—we craft Guided Self-Drive Safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, with Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia on the near horizon. Our expeditions span land and water, from tracking big cats on the Serengeti plains to diving untouched reefs in the Indian Ocean.

What Sets Us Apart

Purpose over tourism – We are not a travel agency; every journey is an exercise in self-discovery and resilience.
Meticulous recce & safety – Routes are scouted in advance; logistics are battle-tested; risk is managed, not magnified.
Remote, untrodden terrain – We seek the blanks on the map, honour local cultures, and leave no trace.
Inclusive team ethos – Strength is measured by how well we support the weakest link; camaraderie sits above ego.
Outdoors × Learning × Culture – Each trip braids natural history, human history, and hands-on skills to recalibrate how we see the world.

Beyond Borders—And Beyond Ourselves

Today WBB is a growing community of explorers who believe the journey begins within, then radiates outward. Whether you join us for a desert crossing, a rainforest track, or an ocean dive, expect to be challenged, changed, and inspired to wander beyond boundaries—and ultimately, beyond yourself.

Self Drive Expeditions

Pioneers in extreme overlanding, WBB has been running self-drive expeditions world over for a decade now. We specialize in first-of-its-kind expeditions across Russia, Central Asia, Africa, Nepal and India, with a strong focus on celebrating the supremacy of the human spirit.

SCUBA

Nautical is our water vertical. Underwater exists a magical world that we know little about. The quest is to explore, be awed by the magnificence and sheer wonder. We offer journeys to the best snorkelling and diving sites in the world.

Nagaland Offroad

WBB executed a first-of-its-kind initiative by curating and building brand Nagaland Offroad, an initiative by Dept. of Tourism, Govt. of Nagaland. As part of the project, we published India’s first 4X4 Guide book, built physical maps, launched an App to aid with navigation and also established a 10 car fleet of 4x4s that travellers may hire on behalf of the Government of Nagaland
