What can I expect? |
|
A trail consists of a walk through a wilderness area carrying one’s provisions and equipment in a back pack. The pace of the trail is determined by the dynamic of the group. This is unique experience and no two trails are the same. So expect the unexpected.
The trail has to take into account the vagaries of nature; the weather, the flora and fauna and in the areas of the mega fauna there exists the possibility of an adrenaline filled experience.
The experience will awake your senses and expose you to a shift in consciousness that has been described by many as a “life changing “experience. |

Who will be my guide? |
|
The Wilderness Leadership School prides itself on the calibre of hand picked guides who have a wealth of experience on which to draw. Some of these guides have served with the legendary founder of the organization, Dr Ian Player and all guides are trained and adhere to the philosophy and principles of the “leave no trace” wilderness experience.
Whilst the experience itself is the focus of the trail, the safety of the trailists is of utmost importance to the guides and all effort is made to ensure that the experience of a wilderness trail is an unforgettable one. |
