Lowveld Trails Co. was born in 2016 from a shared passion for the ever-changing beauty and untamed atmosphere of the African Wilderness. Founded by seasoned Trails Guides who have spent decades immersed in the bush, they believe that the only way to truly experience a wild landscape is by being on foot. The aim was to create something unique, by facilitating engaging experiences that go beyond sightseeing and venture into the heart of Nature itself.
Our journey began with a simple belief: Human beings are biologically and psychologically bound to the landscape and all living things, and by intentionally engaging with wild spaces we rediscover ourselves in Nature.
By combining expert guiding, immersive Primitive Trails, and a deep respect for the environment, we’ve built a company that offers more than just safaris. We offer a profound connection to the land, its wildlife, and its stories.
Lowveld Trails Co. is a team of passionate, experienced FGASA-accredited Trails Guides, Trackers, and bush enthusiasts who share a love for Africa’s wild places. With years of expertise and countless miles walked across pristine landscapes, we bring unmatched knowledge, skill, and a personal touch to every Trail.
Our team thrives on sharing the wisdom and wonder of the bush with others by helping our guests reconnect with Nature in a way that is authentic, challenging, and deeply rewarding.
The Lowveld Trails Co. Guides have some of the highest accolades in their field (including two of only thirteen FGASA Scouts). They are passionate about their craft and thrive on sharing their knowledge and expertise.
Our Walking Safari and Training groups are no larger than 8 persons.
Having conducted more than 300 Primitive Trails (more than 900 nights out in the open) since the establishment of Lowveld Trails Co. the team has unique experience and specific measures in place to ensure each group’s safety and enjoyment.
In a world of mediocrity, we prioritise prompt and comprehensive client service, from the moment of enquiry to the culmination of a life-altering experience.
Acknowledging Nature as the ultimate healer, we remain eternally curious, respectful and in awe of Nature’s intuitive connections and systems.
Through ever-growing knowledge, immersive experiences and imaginable metaphor we translate Nature’s ways sparking awareness and allowing people to channel those understandings into their own circumstance and life journey.
When we focus only on what is essential, we strip away the unnecessary, we strip away layers of clutter. We allow ourselves to authentically immerse, free from distraction and we foster a deep sense of appreciation, free from excess.
When we are not laden, we can tread lightly on the landscape and along our personal journey.
Fully aware of the impact individuals and society have on Wilderness, and the powerful impact immersion in true Wilderness spaces can have on individuals and society, we are driven to facilitate this connection and release a meaningful shift and awareness.
We are focused on building a Nature-based, regenerative business model, in which every action considers how it revives and restores you and wild places.
