We don’t cancel a trip lightly. However yesterday was one of those.
We arrived to paddle the kuerbooms river from Cape Nature to Poortjies and had a howling off shore wind coming down the gorge and a strong out going tide.

With the planned trip being full and a number of novice paddlers we needed to err on the side of caution and decided to cancel. Safety is our highest priority.
That and well it would have been no fun and they wouldn’t have enjoyed the birding.

We operate to the highest safety standards and use experienced and qualified guides allowing us to make on the fly decisions and risk assessments as we go. Managing the risks and mitigating what we can.
As much as risk is part of the reward it’s important to manage that and keep it with in safe boundaries.

Another perfect day on the Bitou river.
have been running a number of guided birding canoe trips on both the Bitou river and the Keurbooms river as part of the organised by .
Both are wonderful and very different trips however the Bitou is truly special.
The day starts at with a wonderful coffee station, some great birds and a safety briefing.
Then we paddle down the Bitou river before arriving at for a delicious well earned brunch before our shuttles run by (Mr Otter for all your Otter trail slackpacking and shuttle services).
Take our twitchers back to their vehicles.
What a great team of people and companies creating a magical birding experience unlike any other.

40% of all plants and animals live and breed in wetlands and more than one billion people depend on them for their living. These biological super systems have rich plant life that provides food and breeding grounds for countless animals.

As we continue to protect and restore wetlands, we not only safeguard biodiversity but also ensure the well-being of communities around the world that rely on these ecosystems for survival.

Nothing quite like a day on the river and a good coffee with great company. It’s seldom that as a guide you get the opportunity to guide a guide, what a privilege it was to guide one of Cape Town’s top hiking guides @guidedbymike, on our Keurbooms canoe trip today. @mikewakeford and @evakjellsdotter thanks for a great day on the river. . . . #wildcompassexperiences #keurboomsriver #canoe #guidingguides #timeinnature #wecreateexperiences #domoreseemorebemore #livelifelovelife #getoutside #plettitsafeeling #staywild #bespokeexperiences #followyourcompass #findyournorth #rivers

That was a fun 10 days, the results were amazing. @wildcompassexperiences were part of a much larger team of companies that created an amazing 5 star lodge and event experience in the wild and remote Baviaanskloof. Tents had on sweat bathrooms, hot showers, electric blankets, morning coffee deliveries and the most luxurious beds. Guests would emerge from their tents to be welcomed to a large fire, moer coffee, and a stunning breakfast spread. The day was filled with activities such as mountain biking, kayaking, fishing and 4x4ing. After a long day there is nothing like a gin and tonic around the fire before a three course meal mostly cooked in a fire adding to the theatrics and experience of the wild African evenings. All this was to show the true capabilities of the Inios quartermaster and grenadier. A big thank you to all involved in this top end bespoke wild experience in the baviaanskloof. . . . @ineos_grenadier_za @ineos_grenadier_uae @drylandza @bhejaneadventures @biocampssa @bonello.justin @wildcompassexperiences @easterncapetourism @anthoard @_wild_south_ . . . #wildcompassexperiences #events #bespokeexperiences #fivestartentedcamp #kougariver #baviaanskloof #wecreateexperiences #kayak #fish #4x4 #mntbike #ineos #ineosgrenadier #ineosquartermaster #carlaunch #experienceengineers #adventurearchitect #traveltechnicians #wildcompassevents #stretchtents #tentedcamp #remoteandwildexperiences

Super excited to give you all a sneak peak of our next exciting offer. And a bit of a background story. We purchase some old canoes that were in extreme disrepair and were destined for a rubbish dump. After loads of research and talking to all our contacts we connected with stanleyptruby who is an accomplished woodworker with a passion for canoes (he has built his own strip wood canoes from scratch). Together we refurbished these beautiful boats, sourced life jackets, designed and made paddles, and painstakingly searched for the right accessories. These accessories had to match the aesthetics yet be highly functional, safe, robust, waterproof and add benefit to the paddler. Once it was all complete and put together we needed SAMSA approval, registration and licensing. That was successfully achieved. @wildcompassexperiences look forward to hosting you on one of our authentic canoe trips. Day trips will be available on the Garden Route on either the keurbooms river or Bitou river with an over night option on both. Keep an eye on our page for some more really amazing canoe trips to come. Our bigger multi day trips will be revealed soon so watch this space and gather your crew for an exclusive canoe tour. . . . #wildcompassexperiences #wecreateexperiences #canoes #canoetrips #connectwithnature #wildernessculture #wildernessexperiences #gardenroute #plettitsafeeling #comingsoon #madrivercanoe #madriver #carpentry #woodwork #handmade #bespoke #followyourcompass #liveyourwild #findyournorth #professionalguides #adventurearchitects #natureismedicine #upcycle #samsaapproved #getoutside #safetyfirst
