Wi-Fi is almost everywhere today. Even in some very far-off parts of the world, you can still stay online — for better or worse. This makes it hard to “unplug” (stay away from the Internet), even if you really want a trip to escape all digital things. But don’t worry — places without Wi-Fi still exist if you know where to look. Staying there lets you break free from endless phone scrolling, the need to follow social media trends, and the stress of checking work messages while on vacation.
One great Wi-Fi-free spot is Serian Camps in Kenya and Tanzania. Unlike many safari camps in Africa that offer Wi-Fi, its owners keep it offline on purpose. “Safaris should be a personal experience,” says guide Andrew van den Broeck. Guests come here just to disconnect — the multi-sensory experience is easily disrupted by the impulse to share stories with those not there to witness them.
Another option is the American Prairie Reserve in Montana, US. It’s a huge nature reserve far from big cities, with lots of hiking and fishing. You can see bison and pronghorns, and stargaze at night with almost no light pollution. Only one small campground here has Wi-Fi; for a full offline trip, book other base camps or bring a tent. Remember to buy food in nearby towns first — there’s no place to shop inside.
If you love hiking, try Iceland’s Laugavegur Trail. It goes through a quiet nature reserve in Iceland’s highlands. The trail starts near colorful mountains and hot springs, then leads to endless black lava fields. Hiker Stefán Pálsson says, “It’s good to have places that force you to be present in nature.” Except for the start and end points, there’s no Wi-Fi here. You can stay in mountain huts or camp, and bring your own food too.
