TRAVEL INTRODUCTION

In the north of South Africa, in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, lies one of Africa’s oldest parks: Hluhluwe-iMfolozi National Park. Savannahs, hills and riverbeds come together in a landscape where wild animals roam freely.

This area carries a deep history. For generations, Zulu kings used it for hunting and royal rituals. The park saved the white rhinoceros from extinction and is still regarded as one of the most important places for its protection.

We head into the wilderness on foot and move through a landscape where lions, elephants and rhinoceroses roam freely. In this way, we effortlessly return to the essence.

What can you expect?

You don't have to achieve anything. But often a kind of clarity arises by itself.

Who is it for?

Are you at a crossroads? Do you feel there is more possible than what you are living now, but you do not yet know exactly what, or how? You are looking for something that truly unlocks something, and have no need for yet another workshop or a weekend away.

You are open to simplicity: walking with a backpack, sleeping under the stars, living with what is there. Without distraction, out of your comfort zone: an experience that brings you closer to yourself and sets you in motion.

I want to come along!

A week without time, phone and noise took me from knowing to feeling: back to what truly matters, in deep connection with myself, nature and the people around me. You should have been there.

Part of a larger whole

The expedition to iMfolozi forms the heart of a four-month programme. We begin with a 1:1 walk to deepen your themes and intentions. After that, we meet as a group in Dutch nature, so that we know one another before we leave for Africa.

After the journey, we come together again in the Netherlands to translate the insights from the wilderness into concrete steps and lasting change in daily life.

Practical

We hike through Hluhluwe-iMfolozi National Park and sleep outside for several nights in a sleeping bag. During the trek, we carry our own basic equipment. The trek is led by two internationally certified wilderness guides.
A good basic level of fitness is required: we walk through hilly terrain for several days.

This programme consists of a 90-minute intake, a one-day session in the Netherlands in preparation, a 6-day trip abroad, and a one-day session in the Netherlands after returning.
