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

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”

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. ❄️🌲 "

As Mother's Day approaches, we invite you to join us on a special hike that's all about taking a step
back from the busyness of life and connecting with yourself, others, and nature. This isn't a race to the
top of the mountain or a competition to see who's the fittest. It's an opportunity to conquer yourself,
to be present in the moment, and to appreciate the beauty of the world around us.

Our aim is to create an atmosphere of relaxation, reflection, and rejuvenation as we explore the
natural wonders of our surroundings. We'll take our time and breathe in the fresh air, stopping to
appreciate the sights and sounds along the way. The hike will provide ample opportunities for
self-discovery, for bonding with others, and for finding new perspectives.

Join us for a memorable Mother's Day experience that's all about embracing the present and
connecting with nature.

We look forward to seeing you on the trails.
