5th – 13th March 2010
Join a group of women on a wilderness trail that is guaranteed to give you time out, peace and quiet, a good laugh, adventure, and time to just be yourself…
Your journey begins with an evening flight on Friday 5th March departing the UK for Johannesburg. You arrive on 6th March and will be met by a local representative who will assist you to your flight to Durban, home of the Wilderness Leadership School, for your overnight stay. Sunday 7th March after breakfast starts your journey to the Umfolozi Game Reserve for an unbelievable experience of true wilderness, spending 5 days without mirrors, daily pressures or watches.
Participating in wilderness trails highlights the need for wilderness protection through a visceral and felt understanding of why nature and the wild is so vital to our social, personal and spiritual survival. Trails offer people a unique opportunity to experience wild nature in the simplest form – carrying everything you need in a backpack and sleeping under the stars.

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.”
