Leadership by Nature
Walking safaris, leadership trails and expeditions in unspoiled Africa
Leadership Trails: Leading by nature
We offer leadership development based on trails guide training. Our programs are designed to develop and hone your leadership skills. Our trails are open to all adventurous individuals or teams who want to develop their personal and team leadership skills.
Walking Safaris: Get out of your comfort zone
There is no experience more humbling and mindblowing than walking in an unspoiled Big 5 wilderness area in the African bush. Many of our guests are seasoned Africa travellers who want to get closer to nature and more personal in their interaction with wildlife.
Expeditions: Explore the unknown
Our Expeditions can be one-offs with a real adventurous character allowing us to explore new frontiers in Africa, or trips with regular departure dates to areas we know well. These expeditions are based on small (often private) groups and require your active participation.
Our Destinations
Leadership Trails
We offer leadership development based on trails guide training. Our programs are designed to develop and hone your leadership skills. Our guides and facilitators are amongst the most experienced in Southern Africa. Our trails are open to all adventurous individuals or teams who want to develop their personal and team leadership skills. Many of our participants are senior professionals, business executives and entrepreneurs.
By removing the clutter and opening your senses nature will help you to reconnect with yourself and help you to be open and connected to the small group of people that have joined for this week far away from everything. Even the internet and 4G do not exist here. This situation offers the perfect conditions for a great leadership learning experience!
Our guides and facilitators don't just make sure you will be safe, they will also tap into your learning potential and that of your fellow participants. They are there for you to further develop your leadership skills. Our professional guides will help you to learn to organize and execute guiding and bush activities that will offer you a multitude of challenges and learning situations. Our seasoned facilitators will help you to make comparisons to your 'normal' work situation and help you to transfer these learnings from the bush into your board room or business life.

Walking Safaris
There is no experience more humbling and mindblowing than walking in an unspoiled Big 5 wilderness area in the African bush. As the bush gives us no time for rehearsals, replays or second chances. There is no greater place to be out of your comfort zone either. And being out of your comfort zone means you will be open to see yourself for who you really are.
When all around you is foreign, or vaguely familiar in your reptilian brain, your senses start to become alive again. Smell, hearing, sight, touch, taste and sometimes even your sixth sense might kick in. Your re-awakened senses will force you to be situational aware. In the ‘here and now’ or ‘feeling alive’ as many of our guests have told us. Many of our guests are seasoned Africa travellers who want to get closer to nature and more personal in their interaction with wildlife.
Expeditions
Our Expeditions can be one-offs with a real adventurous character allowing us to explore new frontiers in Africa, or trips with regular departure dates to areas we know well. We continuously explore suitable destinations that match our focus of untouched wilderness. All these destinations allow us to be in pristine nature, far away from so-called civilization. These expeditions are based on small (often private) groups. As we believe that the journey is the destination, all expeditions require active participation from you when you decide to join us on our trail.

Activities on Leadership Trails
Let our tribe members lead your decision
Many of our participants are so enthusiastic about our leadership trails that they have joined us several times and brought their colleagues or friends with them. Others are kind enough to share their experiences with us and with you.
Walking Safari Botswana
Before I joined this two week walking safari in Botswana I had already been to Africa quite a few times. And I thought I knew the bush and was at ease with it. But only after swimming in the river after the hippo’s had just left and having learned how to approach elephant on foot and spend some time with them in perfect harmony I realized Africa now is the natural place for me to be. Thanks UbuntuTrails for connecting me!
Walking Safari Botswana
Being ‘of the grid’ surrounded by wildlife, making long bush walks including running into elephants, crossing rivers and steering your mokoro through the Okavango Delta is a lifetime experience by itself. However, this trip was more. It is also about leading your ‘team’ through the bush and providing hospitality to your ‘customers’. Just give me 24-hour notice, and I will join you again on the plane to Africa!

Walking Safari Botswana
It is so beautiful to experience the rules of nature and to learn that these are also present deep inside yourself. You just have to wake them up. Trust yourself, your fellow travelers and the environment without losing sight of them.

As a general manager people expect you to always be in control. But when you’re in control you’re not going fast enough. The leadership course has learned me to trust my instincts and improvise when your plans don’t work.
Leadership Trails Botswana
I’ve been on trail with UbuntuTrails many times. I quickly realized that being in the bush requires one to be extremely knowledgable and very versatile. Every day you start with a plan. Executing this plan in such unpredictable conditions requires you to improvise almost immediately after you have left camp. On top of that you need to have courage and trust your team members when facing challenging situations such as encountering a herd of elephants or buffalo. When you are committed to each other and work together, you will always get the maximum out of each situation.

A leadership trail is a great way to challenge your personal leadership. I have always been an ambitious person but out on the trail I again realized that everything in life and in business is teamwork. Winning together is more fun!

Sharing camp with a lot of fellow entrepreneurs and some elephants was awesome. The nights at the campfire have learned me to be at ease in any situation.

In the bush there is no tomorrow and running away, so you have to figure it out and deal with it! I now practice this valuable lesson when I manage my business. Soon I will go on my fourth trip with Ubuntutrails.com
