We facilitate direct human-nature interaction in w We facilitate direct human-nature interaction in wild places for personal and Wilderness benefits. The progressive loss of direct human-nature interaction in wild places has become known as the 'extinction of experience'. The removal of humans from their natural habitat negatively impacts our well-being and compromises any efforts made towards conservation. By reintroducing humans to their natural habitat in a meaningful way @lowveld_trails_co is striving towards the 'conservation of experience'.
Lowveld Trails Co. offers dedicated three-night 'P Lowveld Trails Co. offers dedicated three-night 'Primitive Trails' for aspiring Trails Guides. The objectives of the Trails Guide Mentorship process is to, 1) facilitate the logging of walking hours and animal encounters under an experienced mentor, 2) expose junior Trails Guides to the ethos of multi-day Trails, and 3) to propagate a holistic Trails Guide culture across all guiding sectors. These valuable hours and encounters can be signed off towards FGASA Trails Guide qualifications.
New Blog | Link in Bio. "Through the drifting dus New Blog | Link in Bio. "Through the drifting dust appeared an almighty presence of a large and confrontational Elephant bull. Struck with awe from his magician-like entrance, I held my head and chest up with false confidence while my legs started to quiver with fear. He was too close and I was unprepared. Behind me the Trail group glared at my dramatic pose, they had become the spectators of my spontaneous act and anxiously awaited the next scene."

Makuya Nature Reserve shares a fenceless border wi Makuya Nature Reserve shares a fenceless border with the Kruger National Park near the Pafuri Gate in northern Limpopo Province. The Levuvhu river is the Reserve's life source and carves through an ancient sandstone landscape which is dotted with hundreds of baobab trees. Makuya is home to a range of large and iconic mammal species such as Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Hippo and Hyeana. They are not abundant enough to guarentee seeing, but their presence certainly contributes to a hightened sense of awareness. Nevertheless, Makuya's appeal (for @lowveld_trails_co at least) is the awe-inspiring landscape, which includes magical tributaries of the Levuvhu River, natural inland springs and extremely high levels of biological diversity. The permanent water also provides a unique and very special atmosphere. It's a great venue for 'Primitive Trails' and we are excited to show you around. Choose between a three, four, five or six night Primitive Trail. The Makuya Primitive Trail is operational between April and November.

"Protected areas are often viewed as being mandate "Protected areas are often viewed as being mandated for the sole purpose of biodiversity conservation. Less acknowledged and explored is the way in which such places can enable life-changing experiences that may deepen people's personal relationships with non-human nature and motivate environmentally responsible behaviours. Critically, such experiences may enhance connections with protected areas that lend support to their conservation." - Zylstra, M. J. (2019)
