Bush adventures through mountainous terrain. Stay in huts or camp out in a tent, light a campfire and cook outdoors. Guided shooting practice and hunting for small game, deer and pigs. Yes, we can accommodate groups. Minimum 2 nights and 3 days.

What to expect

Trips are fully guided and include four-wheel driving, camping and hiking, with coaching on bush craft, conservation and mountain safety.
