with nature, that you could share their world for a small

Are you tired of “roughing it” in luxury lodges and
staring at game
from air-conditioned vehicles? Do you ever wish you
could really connect with nature, that you could share their world for a small
moment in time? Does the idea of living in a
wilderness area appeal to you?
TOUCH THE EARTH wilderness trails offers guided walking and camping trails into the remote wilderness areas of the Pilanesberg National Park. The park is managed by the North West Parks and Tourism board and is situated a mere 160 km from Johannesburg. There are over 20 species of mammals, including lion, leopard, elephant, both black and white rhino, buffalo, cheetah and a host of antelope species.
It is not often in today’s world that we are given the opportunity to experience the power of nature, its healing spirit and its overwhelming magic. Touch The Earth offers you the unique opportunity to walk, sleep and eat in the middle of the bush, to listen to the night sounds before you fall asleep under the stars, to refresh your spirit and return with a better understanding of our natural environment.
For a true wilderness experience the campsites have no infrastructure and the canopy of a tree and starry sky is your roof. Prospective trailists must be aware that they will be walking and sleeping in areas where animals such as lion, elephant and rhino roam freely and camp sites used for the true wilderness trail experience are not protected by the safety of a fence! Participants will have none of the daily luxuries such as toilets, fridges, roofs and showers. This process provides a better awareness of wilderness. There is something very humbling about sitting in the wild, unprotected by fences and walls, under a vast canopy of stars listening to the calls of the night.
