WILDERNESS TRAILS

On a WildSide Trail, you get to go walking on a trail in some of Africa’s pristine nature destinations. Few of these places are left, and you have the wildest ones available to explore.

The WildSide Wisdom

Maybe you are disconnected from your WildSide. Or maybe you just haven't managed to find the time to connect to your wild side this is probably what brought you here.

Step out from your modern life. WildSide offers you two types of hiking to do this: Backpacking and Slackpacking, each used to allow you to reconnect, replenish and refresh your soul, and walk into your WildSide at a pace that suits you.

Walking with people on these wilderness trails has taught us one thing, people crave the stillness and wholeness of nature. This is why WildSide exists: To help you to reconnect with nature and find your wild side.
