The Wild Tales Exploring the unchartered Guyana accompanied by Indigenous experts on wild jungle adventures 🇬🇾🐆🐍

One of the most exciting things to spot while night fishing in the mountains is a Himara sitting in a small, clear creek.

Around Makarapan, these little mountain waterways can look almost too small to hold anything serious, and then suddenly you see that unmistakable shape sitting in the current.

And when one is there, it often means there may be bigger fish close by as well.

That is why, when we are moving through country like this, we like to be ready for the opportunity.

A bow and arrow close at hand, a fishing line packed, and strong hooks ready to go. 🎣🏹

Out here, fishing is rarely a separate activity with a fixed schedule. It becomes part of the journey.

You walk, you explore, you read the water, and when the chance appears, you take it.

Sometimes a tiny mountain creek can surprise you more than a big river. 🌿🇬🇾

Some of the best moments in the jungle are often the quietest ones.

A kettle over the fire.
A little creek running beside camp.
The forest slowly waking up around you.

No engines. No traffic. No notifications.

Just the sound of water, birds, insects and a fire coming back to life in the morning. 🌿☕

Expeditions can be hard work, but these peaceful moments are part of what makes them so special.

Sometimes it is not the big objective, the mountain, the river crossing or the long day on the trail that stays with you.

Sometimes it is simply sitting beside the fire with a hot drink while the jungle wakes up around you. 🇬🇾

Crossing creeks, rivers and flooded sections is simply part of moving through the mountains and rainforest of Guyana. 🇬🇾🌿

On expedition, guests should expect their feet to get wet, often repeatedly.

The goal is not to somehow keep your feet perfectly dry all day. The goal is to manage them properly so they are ready to walk again tomorrow.

That starts with the right footwear. We generally favour jungle-style boots with good drainage rather than boots that hold water inside. We also use thick ski socks to give the feet protection during long days of walking.

Then comes the evening routine.

Once camp is established, boots and socks come off, feet are cleaned and allowed to dry properly, and we pay attention to any rubbing, soft skin or developing hotspots. Anti fungal treatment also form part of the routine before getting into the hammock.

None of this is particularly glamorous, but on a long expedition it can make an enormous difference.

A small problem with your feet on day two can become a very big problem by day seven if you ignore it.

Watching Lionel take guests across a mountain creek is a good reminder: getting wet is part of the journey. Knowing how to look after yourself afterwards is part of expedition skill.

Being the bowman in a big dugout canoe is one of those jobs that can look deceptively simple from the shore. 🛶🇬🇾

But once the river starts moving, the rocks appear and the canoe is carrying people, food and expedition equipment, you quickly realise how much skill is involved.

The bowman is constantly reading the water ahead, watching the current, identifying rocks, judging the safest line and reacting early enough to help guide a long, heavily loaded canoe through places where there is very little room for error.

It takes balance, timing, strength and, more than anything, experience.

These traditional boats can carry an incredible amount, but moving them safely through rapids and shallow sections depends on the knowledge of the people handling them. The river is never exactly the same twice, and every decision has to be made in the moment.

For us, this is one of the things that makes travelling through remote Guyana so special.

You are not simply being transported from one place to another. You are watching skills that have been developed over generations being used exactly where they matter most.

And when you are sitting in a fully loaded dugout heading into a rapid, you develop a very healthy respect for the person standing in the bow. 🛶🔥

One of the things we love about our mountain expeditions is that you never quite know what you might find along the way.

Even in remote pools high in the Pakaraima Mountains, there can be surprises waiting beneath the surface.

On this trip, one of our guests decided to try a little fishing and ended up pulling out a beautiful Himara 🎣🇬🇾

Fishing is not always the main objective on these expeditions, but when the opportunity presents itself, we are usually ready to give it a go.

That is part of expedition life for us. You move through the landscape with a plan, but you also stay open to the unexpected experiences that appear along the way.

And sometimes that means stopping beside a mountain pool, putting a line in the water and seeing what happens. ⛰️🌿

Those little moments often become some of the best memories from the journey.

The world can feel incredibly loud sometimes.

Work. Phones. Traffic. Stress. Bad news. A constant stream of things demanding your attention.

And then you find yourself drifting quietly down a jungle river.

No notifications. No headlines. No rush to be anywhere.

Just the movement of the water, the sound of the forest and the feeling that, for a little while, everything else can wait.

People often think of the jungle as challenging, uncomfortable or even intimidating. And it certainly can be.

But it can also be an incredible place to find peace.

A place where life becomes simpler, your attention returns to what is directly around you, and the noise of the outside world starts to disappear.

Sometimes adventure isn’t about going faster or pushing harder.

Sometimes it is simply about finding somewhere that allows your mind to become quiet again. 🌿🇬🇾

In April 2027, we’re heading back into the mountains of Region 8 for our Wokomung Mountain Expedition. 🇬🇾⛰️

We’ll be travelling with an expert team from Kopinang, the Patamona who know this country, its forests, rivers and trails through generations of experience.

What makes Wokomung especially interesting is that this particular expedition is something new for them too.

The mountains are home territory.
The objective is not.

Together, we’ll be pushing into country that even our team does not routinely travel, with the aim of reaching the upper mountain and attempting the summit of Wokomung.

That makes this more than a trekking trip. It becomes a genuine shared expedition, local knowledge, route finding, changing conditions and a goal that none of us can simply take for granted.

This expedition is a partnership between and , combining expedition planning and international participation with the knowledge and leadership of the Kopinang team on the ground.

April 2027. Wokomung. One objective: the summit.

If this sounds like the kind of journey you want to be part of, comment “MOUNTAIN EXPEDITION” and we’ll send you more information.

Anthony from Masakenari with a proper Himara from the Essequibo River 🎣🇬🇾🔥

One of the things that makes our Wai Wai Expedition so special is not simply where we go, but who we get to experience it with.

For Anthony and the team from Masakenari, these rivers and forests are home. Travelling with them means seeing an incredible part of Guyana alongside people who understand the waterways, fishing grounds, camps and landscape through a lifetime of experience.

Catching a big Himara on the Essequibo is just one small part of it.

Over 20 days, the journey takes us deep into one of Guyana’s most remote regions, travelling by river and through the forest, camping along the way, fishing, encountering wildlife and spending time with the Wai Wai in the area they know best 🛶🌿

It is difficult to think of a better way to experience somewhere this remote than alongside the people who call it home.

Our next Wai Wai Expedition heads out in October 2027.

If this kind of journey has been sitting somewhere in the back of your mind, comment “WAI WAI” and we’ll send you some more information.

Not every challenge needs to make sense to everyone else. 🇬🇾🔥

Some people come to the jungle because they want to learn. Some want to disconnect from normal life. Some simply want to know what happens when comfort disappears and they have to rely on themselves.

Whatever the reason, there is nothing wrong with deliberately choosing something difficult.

Our Jungle Survival Course prepares you first. You train with our Makushi instructors and survival team, learning how to manage water, shelter, fire, food and the environment around you.

Then comes the real test.

You leave the team behind and head into the rainforest alone.

Not to prove anything to anyone else.

Just to find out what you are capable of. 💪🌿

We still have a few spaces for 21 January to 2 February 2027.

Comment “SURVIVAL” and we’ll send you the details.

Expeditions have plans. The jungle has opinions 😂🇬🇾

Routes disappear. Rivers rise and fall. Equipment breaks. Days run longer than expected. Sometimes the weather changes everything before breakfast.

And strangely enough, those are often the moments that turn a trip into a real expedition.

Pressure forces you to adapt, make decisions, work as a team and keep moving when the easiest option would be to stop.

That doesn’t mean taking unnecessary risks. A good expedition is built on preparation, experienced local teams and having enough flexibility to change the plan when the environment demands it.

We go into some incredibly remote parts of Guyana with objectives in mind, but rarely knowing exactly what the journey will give us.

And that is precisely why we keep going back. 🧭🌿
