And so we wandered, together…

In silence, in laughter and in intentional conversation. Holding space for each other in moments reconnecting with nature, fresh water, open skies and our most authentic selves.

Thank you beautiful souls for joining us to acknowledge the Spring Equinox in The Cradle of Humankind.

We appreciate you 🌱

Heritage Day Hike

Sunday 24 September 2023

Our heritage is not just about who we are as Africans, it is about who we are as people.
We gently hike into nature to trace back our own stories and let ourselves be guided by our breath, as we step gently back towards ourselves.

Random thoughts and words shared on an Epic Hike that resonated so much with my journey…

Meet yourself in stillness…

Spend some time learning how not to be afraid of yourself…

“God has been showing up for me for so long, it’s time to show up for myself now”

An opportunity to reset 🌕 This Super Blue Moon energy won't happen again on Earth for another 14 years..

This phase typically resonates with the concept of growth and wisdom, a time of second chances and embracing renewed opportunities.

A new season of adventure beckons, will you be joining the journey with us at ? ⛰️

As the world awakens to a winter wonderland, we gather as a united tribe, driven by a shared longing to escape the noise and find solace in nature's embrace. Bundled in layers, hearts warmed by anticipation, we rise before dawn, defying the comfort of warm beds, and step into the frosty morning air.

In the collective discipline of this brave Epic Hikes tribe, we find strength to face the chill, knowing that the rewards awaiting us amidst the snowy peaks are far greater than the temporary discomfort. With each step, the crunch of snow beneath our boots becomes a resounding affirmation of our commitment, a rhythm that synchronizes our souls and connects us to the essence of our being.

As we venture deeper into the wilderness, we leave behind the chaos of the modern world, exchanging it for the simplicity and serenity that only nature can offer. The trees, adorned with delicate icicles, stand as silent witnesses to our journey, whispering tales of resilience and timelessness. In their presence, we learn to be present ourselves, shedding the weight of worries and obligations, and embracing the boundless freedom that comes with getting lost in nature.

In the very act of getting lost in nature, we find ourselves, our true essence that sometimes gets obscured amidst the demands of daily life. The vast landscapes mirror the expansiveness of our own souls, reminding us of the infinite possibilities that lie within. It is here, amidst towering mountains and vast valleys, that we reclaim our inner compass, aligning ourselves with the profound wisdom that nature imparts.

So, let us wake up, brave the cold, and embark on this sacred pilgrimage together. Let us revel in the beauty of hiking in winter, knowing that it is not only a respite from the modern world but a vital necessity for our well-being. As we wander through these enchanting landscapes, may we find our way back home to ourselves, each other, and the boundless beauty of nature's embrace. ❄️🌲 "

Our Story

Our aim is to spread the excitement of outdoor adventure, whether just down the street or across the globe, by inspiring people to discover, explore and share their favorite activities and playgrounds. Hiking gives you the ability to see and explore parts of our country or the world that no other mode of transport is able to take you. If you want to be on top of Drakensberg or Kilimanjaro you have to WALK to it.

There’s this misconception that “the best views, the best sunsets, sunrises, the best nature experiences and outdoor connections are only displayed on an HD screen or when guided around an exotic island by a really expensive tour guide”. This being directly equivalent to “the most meaningful lessons one can ever learn only take place in the classroom”. This has made us wonder and strive to prove both these theories as false by attaining everything they could ever offer and more, with less expenses, less confinements and getting people to completely deviate from their norm, escaping their comfort zones, achieve their health goals and elevating their mental health. Epic Hikes was born from the passion for the outdoors and adventure of exploring them. We really want to spread love for nature and make people realize that the great outdoors are more than a hobby but a culture: a culture that values adventure and the beauty found in the wildest parts of the earth.
