The first three nights find us in a temporary bush camp, sleeping in small tents and devouring the incredible cooking of Captain Dave. Each day, we walk morning and afternoon, interpreting what we discover. Minute details offer wealths of information. So we appreciate the small interactions as well as tracking, trailing and sometimes observing large animals.

Then for the last three days, we carry our things: backpacks, sleeping rolls, ministove, food provisions and other useful items. Each night we sleep beneath the stars, taking turns keeping watch over a small fire. This primitive trail puts us in direct contact of who we really are on a deep level.

Throughout the entire week, we make time for meditative praxis, breathwork and postural yoga. Without doubt, leaving behind society’s distractions gives us an opportunity to truly connect to nature, one another and to our selves.

Additionally, there will be a Readying Night and a Return Night at a lodge within the little town of Hoedspruit. On the Readying Night, we’ll make sure we have proper gear with us, get to know one another and share our first meal together. Then we’ll set off for 6 Bush Nights. The Return Night will find us coming straight from primitive trail. We’ll take a chance to clean up, do laundry and reintegrate into a life of more comfort – hopefully while staying connected.
