Let our tribe members lead your decision

A lot 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. And 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

Walking through the African bush puts everything in perspective: it made me realize that man is just a tiny element in the animal kingdom. And coming to understand how flora and fauna coexist in their struggle for survival shines an interesting light on how we ourselves can improve our interaction with each other. I will never forget the smell of wild sage that spread as we brushed the leafs while walking through them, fully aware of an imminent encounter with anyone of the big five. Resulting in that absolutely mindblowing and very humbling moment when you are only a couple of meters away from a baby elephant inquisitively looking at those strange two-legged beings. After checking us out it calmy rejoined its mother who had been patiently waiting for her calf. A memory that is engraved in my heart.

Sometimes in life you find yourself in such a great place that you have to squeeze yourself to be reminded that its real….With no mobile phone connection, no radio and TV or any other distraction it took literally 24 hours in raw nature to see, smell and hear like we are supposed to do. Every day we would end our active program with storytelling by the camp fire. Amazing what you learn from people when you have time at your hand and you are absent of distraction… What more can i say, a truly amazing life changing experience

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.

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
