Our fully-catered wilderness trails take place over a period of four nights and have three full days of walking. Two experienced professional rangers accompany you on the trail.

Our Trails Camp is a very rustic camp comprised of dome tents and a bush-kitchen and all cooking is done over an open fire.  This camp is located in our wilderness area. On a night during the trail we be "roughing it" - for these evenings, we sleep on the ground wherever we may be and usually carry sleeping bags, sleeping mats, our food, water and all other essentials with us (although these can be delivered).

We sleep around a fire, with participants taking shifts in mounting a watch for the evening, ensuring that we remain safe.  We will usually spend these evenings in areas where there is no vehicle access.

A typical day is made up of two sessions:

After a dawn wake-up and a cup of coffee or tea and rusks, we head off for a morning walk, which lasts around four hours. We take regular breaks and rest halfway through the morning walk at a pleasant spot to enjoy basic snacks, fruit juice and water.
We then return to camp, have a shower and a hearty brunch, followed by a siesta. In the afternoon we go for another walk and return to camp just after sunset. The evening meal is served about an hour later around the camp fire.

We supply lightweight backpacks and water bottles for use on the trail. The trail covers between 8 and 12 kms per day, depending on the level of fitness of participants. Children 16 years old and younger cannot participate on these trails.

Trails meals provided are:

• Morning tea, coffee, rusks, fruit, snacks
• Substantial brunch in the camp
• Afternoon tea, coffee, biscuits, fruit, snacks
• Bush dinner around the camp fire
