One of the primary reasons for current environment One of the primary reasons for current environmental self destruction (or Ecocide) is human entitlement. Ask yourself; Am I willing to apply the brakes to my self importance? Am I willing to rediscover my place in the web of life?⁠ ⁠ It's decision time human. Rewild or die.
Let me tell you about Rwanda.⁠ ⁠ The establish Let me tell you about Rwanda.⁠ ⁠ The establishment of @africa_trails_co has been a natural progression and international extension of @lowveld_trails_co. ⁠ ⁠ I first travelled to Akagera National Park in 2016 to assist with counter insurgence tracker training (anti-poaching) prior to the reintroduction of 18 Eastern Black Rhino’s from South Africa. The grandeur of the landscape captivated me immediately. So too did the spirit of Jackson and the rest of his Field Ranger core. Their desire for knowledge and commitment to the cause of the National Park was outstanding. During those few weeks we got to know the landscape, and the people who benefit from it, extremely well. From the Papyrus choked lakeshore in the east to the high-lying grassy hills in the west, there was a sense of inspiration. ⁠ ⁠ Find out more about 'Trail de Akagera', Rwanda and Africa Trails Co.
Hunter-Gatherers of the 21st Century. Hunters of m Hunter-Gatherers of the 21st Century. Hunters of meaning and gatherers of values.⁠ ⁠ The experience of walking through a wild landscape in a small band, carrying only essential belongings on your back is to become a hunter-gatherer of the 21st century. It jogs your genetic memory, aligns with your human ‘being’, meets your subconscious psychological needs and rewards you with a flood of ‘feel-good’ neurochemicals. You rediscover the ‘laws of the wild’ and meet your ecological self.
"We have forgotten where we have come from, that w "We have forgotten where we have come from, that we are biologically and psychologically bound to the Earth and all living things, that we are a part of the web of life. As for the human psyche and its relationship to our animal origins, I have two questions: whose permission are we waiting for to enter that 'uncertain ground' where the voice of our wild relatives can be heard? How long is it going to take to acknowledge that there is indeed a menagerie within each of us...a wolf, a hyena, a lion, a wild man and a wild woman?"⁠ ⁠ - Ian McCallum

Primitive Trails offer an alternative model with w Primitive Trails offer an alternative model with which to explore and conserve. It’s a shift from the spectatorship of the traditional safari and encourages direct interaction with wild places. ⁠ ⁠ No infrastructure development is required and the activity is seasonal, providing the area of operation with enough time to recover from an already negligible impact.⁠ ⁠ Primitive Trails therefore provide economic justification for wild (undeveloped) landscapes and the opportunity for ‘rewilding’ areas to reach their most pristine ecological and intrinsic state possible. It’s a completely systemic approach.
New Trail Blog: At the End of the Rainbow⁠ link New Trail Blog: At the End of the Rainbow⁠ link in bio⁠ ⁠ "Just as most of the group had finished their modest trail lunch and reclined on their ground sheets for a snooze, one magnificent Elephant bull broke through the dendritic cover of the bare and stunted mopane trees along one of his kind’s timeless paths. Heavy polished ivory stretched towards the ground, gently rocking from side to side as the rest of his dust covered body moved forward into open space. His noble arrival grew more gripping with each stride as he calmly moved towards the group. We happened to be positioned directly between him and the spring. Although he was still unaware of our presence, it became clear that interaction would be unavoidable."
