SOUL SAFARI
17 - 27 March 2026
Step into the Wild. Hear Your Soul. Rise with Purpose.
You spent decades climbing the mountain you were told to climb.
Now you want meaning. You want truth. You want to feel alive again.
This journey gives you the space and brotherhood you need to reclaim yourself.
You’ve done everything right, but
something is missing.
Â
You built a good life. You created success in the way society told you to.
But you feel a quiet ache.
“Is this it?”
You feel grateful for what you have, but you crave something more.
Not more stuff.
More meaning. More wildness. More purpose.
A deeper connection to yourself.
A life that feels like yours again.
Your Second Mountain Is Calling
Â
 Your first mountain is built on expectations.
Your second mountain is built on truth.
 It demands courage.
It demands space to reflect.
It demands a circle of men who see you, challenge you and stand with you.
You cannot climb the second mountain alone.
This experience gives you the clarity and power to begin the real ascent.Â

Invite You To A Once-in-a-Lifetime Men’s Journey intoÂ
THE HEART OF SOUTH AFRICAÂ
Â
You leave your world.
You step into wild nature.
You unplug from responsibility and reconnect to the man you have always been beneath the roles.
This is not a holiday.
It’s a rite of passage for the man you are becoming.
KEY PILLARS:
-
Immersion in raw nature
Mountains, rivers, fire circles, open sky. Your nervous system resets. Your mind clears.
-
Guided men’s work and deep inner processes
You drop the armour. You meet the truth of your life. You design the next thirty years with intention.
-
Brotherhood with other high-performing men
Men who hold you to your highest standard. Men who refuse to let you shrink.
-
Feel the heartbeat of Africa.
Wild landscapes, ancient wisdom, unforgettable moments that shift how you see the world and yourself.
-
Integration and support after the journey
Supported by the facilitators and fellow participants, you bring your insights home. You return as the leader of your life, not a tourist who had an experience.
Men who have been through nature-based training with us
Â
Lee
"Being in the wild got me reconnected with my joy and nature through my inner child, reminding me of the ancient masculine that lives inside me."
Marc
"Being with other men in nature helped me reconnect with my power."Â
Terri
"No more hiding! This experience allowed me to forgive myself and reconnect with my masculinity."
Why We Created This Experience
We both climbed our first mountain, success, achievement, recognition.
And when we reached the top, we found... dark desperation and a sense of being dead on the inside.
We both hit our walls. And when we finally listened, really listened, we heard the call to leave everything familiar behind.
Through years of wandering, learning, breaking, and rebuilding, we discovered something sacred: healing doesn't happen in isolation.
Soul Safari was born from this realisation. It's the experience we wish had existed when we stood at our own crossroads.
In our stories below, you'll see how those moments shaped what this experience has become.

What You Return Home With:
Â
- Â Clarity on the next chapter of your life
- Â A renewed sense of purpose
- Â A deeper connection to yourself and what you truly value
- Â Freedom from old expectations that never belonged to you
- Â A deep connection to the Wild Man within
- Â A brotherhood you can lean on for life
- Â A grounded plan for your second mountain
- Â The feeling of being alive again
If You Are Asking Yourself These Questions, You Are in the Right Place
- What if I invest in this and nothing changes?
- What if I show up and I do not fit in?
- What if I open up and realise how lost I really am?
- What if this is the moment my life begins to shift?
Every man on this journey feels some version of these questions.
These feelings are a call to courage.
Courage does not mean you do not feel fear.
Courage means you act anyway.
This Experience Is For You If
- You are successful on paper, but unsatisfied inside.
 -  You feel the pull toward something deeper in your life.
 -  You sense a change coming and want to meet it with strength.
 -  You want to lead with purpose rather than outdated scripts.
 -  You want to rediscover your masculine fire.
 -  You want the next chapter of your life to matter.
17 - 27 March 2026
Day 1
Your adventure kicks off in Cape Town. This iconic city sits at the foot of Table Mountain and is rated among the most beautiful cities in the world.
Day 2
On day 2, after a first-class dinner and a good night’s rest in a luxury hotel, you awaken refreshed for the 3-hour drive through breathtaking scenery to the Cederberg mountains.
Days 3-6
For the next four days, you will be guided through nature-based experiences for deep transformation and on one of the days the magic of plant medicine (San Pedro). Supported by your facilitation team, you will spend some time alone in nature, sit around the fire, look up at the stars and begin to remember who you are. Our accommodation in the Cederberg is rustic and comfortable, and miles away from your old stories and routines.
Days 7-9
On Day 7, we return to Cape Town and take a short internal flight directly to our Big 5 Safari space in the world-renowned Kruger National Park. Imagine waking up to a morning game drive led by an experienced ranger, sipping coffee and watching the sunrise over the African Savannah.Â
These three days focus on reconnecting with the wild, both inside and out. Each morning and evening includes a game drive, and the days are a mix of slowness and group-facilitated workshops.
Day 10
On day 10, after a short return flight to Cape Town, the focus is on landing and integrating your experience and transformation. We will discuss how to ensure that this program leads to lasting change in your life and the ongoing support you will have access to.
Day 11
Day 11 brings it all together with a brunch and closing circle to conclude this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
We are opening this experience to close friends, family and community first.
Â
And, we are offering a $1,000 discount to the first six men who join us on this adventure.

I'm Ready For My African AdventureHow men feel after spending time with Lenerd and Gareth
Â
“Even if you think “I'm not really the type of guy”, you will discover that there is a lot of commonality and that the sharing of intimate thoughts with people does bring you very close to one another...”Â
– Filon
“The setting was incredible. The facilitators held the space impeccably. I felt safe, And then - the men showed up. Each, each, each one of them. And it created a very, very intimate container. And I think that was a very healing process for me.”
– LeeÂ
“What I'm taking back is a newfound sense of purpose where the vulnerabilities look unique to me, that's shared by the brotherhood of us men together, sharing shamelessly and openly our vulnerabilities in a safe place.”
– PaulÂ
“There's no judgment. Everybody is very supportive. There's no pressure. Everything is your choice. You come and do what feels right for you and you learn, it's a beautiful opportunity. Take a turn.”Â
– Mark
“Dive in, you won’t regret it! As modern men, we have so much in common - connecting, sharing and learning in nature has been transformative. Don’t do this alone; there are other men there to support you.”
– BenziÂ
What level of physical fitness is required for this experience?
How big will the group be?
Is South Africa safe?
Do I have to take the San Pedro plant medicine?
I still have questions.
