A True Wilderness Hiking Trail

What to Expect

This primitive walking safari is as raw and authentic as it gets. There are no lodges, no fences, and no artificial comforts—just you, your backpack, and the vast African wilderness. Over four days and three nights, you will:

  • Sleep under the stars, listening to the distant calls of hyenas and nightjars.

  • Track wildlife on foot, learning essential bushcraft and survival skills.

  • Dig for water, build fires, and navigate terrain just as early explorers once did.

  • Disconnect from technology and time, allowing yourself to fully embrace the present moment

Customisation of the above is welcome.
