Sometimes we have the most wonderful weather through the course and then rain starts falling once we start the isolation phase 😂
It can be a bit of a wake up call as the jungle certainly is different whether you are here when it is wet or dry 🫣
When all this is said, I always feel that participants are missing out a bit if they don’t get to experience any rain at all 🥇🇬🇾
This specific course were though a lot. Basically 24 hours straight of heavy rainfall 👀

Time spent on reconnaissance is seldomly wasted 🇬🇾🗺️
Here we had been so fortunate to be invited to do an outreach with @amazonconservationteamguianas and @discoverguyana to Kanashen in the most Southeren part of Guyana.
After their teams travelled back, we stayed back to travel further South near the Brazilian border to explore Kamoa river with a team of guys from Masakanari 💪
This was prior to our first Wai Wai expedition happening last year and to be able to work along side the team and travel the areas prior to having 10 guests was absolutely crucial in ensuring that we had such a great expedition 🙏
It ended becoming an almost 20 day deep jungle expedition to one of the most secluded river systems left in this part of South America. Not too shabby at all 😂
Want to travel with us to areas like this?

That time @xanderbudnick decided to shoot an arrow in to another arrow and go all Robin Hood on everything 😂🏹
We have throughout our years seen some pretty crazy shots, arrows hitting each other in the air, arrows ending in the canopy, but rarely do someone manage to shoot an arrow in to another one 🤣💪
@xanderbudnick did shoot a very good bow and arrow, but this example here is just showing off 😂🥇
Our guest almost always gets a chance of trying to bow and arrow, but on our Survival and Bushcraft course we have specific activities and trainings. Especially our Bushcraft course where our participants get to make their own traditional bow and arrow with Lionel and our team of instructors 👏

We don’t eat everything we catch 😂🎣
Here we found ourselves In exceptionally good fishing ground up Kamoa river in the most Southeren part of Guyana 🥇
We caught way more than we could eat and roes revel to carry back to village, but of course for the fun and sport of it, we keep catching some 🤩
This part of the Upper Essequibo river I said to potentially hold a world record size Himara 🤫
We will give it another try when we are back again 😁
We hope to do a big expedition in 2026, so do not hesitate to get in touch about it. Without a doubt one of the most impressive area to visit and explore in Guyana 🇬🇾

We teach real skills in absolutely wild jungle! 🥇🇬🇾
In this case Lionel our lead instructor of Surama village set up a spring trap for the night.
We had experienced unusual drought conditions and fishing had been somehow unsuccessful.
We despite the poor fishing during night time heard a lot of activity from a nearby deep pool 🤔
Recognising the potential, Lionel set up this fish trap for the night and the following morning he had caught this Wolffish, locally known as Himara.
Even as water levels drops these massive fish stay in the deeper pools and live of the smaller fish that stay here during dry season. Himara is a fierce predator and a great catch for such a minimum of effort.
Join our jungle survival course or Bushcraft course running in 2025 and learn all these secrets of the rainforest 🏆🇬🇾

This is Chris! He did our jungle survival course and absolutely smashed it! 🇬🇾🥇
This was not just any survival course! This was the single most rainy and wet isolation we have ever dropped our participants for! 👀
The rain started day 1 shortly after being dropped off and the first 24 hours, it rained almost nonstop 🤣
Some of our guest came out earlier, but not Chris!
Not only did he endure the rain, the final night in pitch black darkness, his bed collapsed. This wasn’t enough to get him calling out, he just battled through and managed to stay the full 72 hours 💪😁
If there is one thing the jungle can teach you, it is what material you really are made of!
He will forever have our out most respect. What a soldier! 🙏
Our next course is confirmed and running from 28th of March to 9th of April.
We still have a few spaces left and we would love for you to join!
Get in touch and let is help you start 2025 with an adventure you will never forget again 🏆

Our next expedition starts in about 14 days and we cannot wait to be back in the mountains again! ⛰️
This next trip is going to bring us back to where it all started nearly 14 years ago, The Kanuku Mountains. This mountain chain is placed centrally in the Rupununi and marks the boundary of North and South of the region. It is jam packed with spectacular scenery, terrain and with the Rupununi river running straight through offering both amazing river adventures and great wildlife opportunities 🐍🐒
We will trek to Rupununi river to visit @mapari_wilderness_camp and after some days looking for the world’s biggest tarantulas, tropical snakes and birds head North to reach @caiman_house 🤩
This expedition really brings the best of everything that Rupununi had to offer, challenging trekking, world class rainforest, river adventures, wildlife and savannah in to one trip 🏆
Btw, for those that do not know. @mapari_wilderness_camp is likely one of this part of the continents best jungle camps, so after a real rumble in the jungle, you’ll be spoiled a bit as well 😂
We still have a few spaces if you want to join the trip at an reduced rate since this will be our test trip 🙌
It is an incredible attractive price for a 9 day expedition to some of the absolutely most magnificent areas of Guyana 👌
Get in touch if you want to hear more about it 🙏

Our next Jungle survival course 28th March to 9th April is confirmed and we are buzzing! 🥇🇬🇾
Among some of the many teachings, are we going to teach you to catch river monsters like this on traditional spring traps 🐟
Lionel our lead instructor in Surama is here demonstrating how to deal with a big one like this. One part is being descaled to go in a fish soup called boily, the other half keeps it scale to go on the fire to be smoked and dried out to be brought home for his kids and wife 🏡
Especially the smoking and drying fish is a useful skill for moving and ensuring that you always have some food ready to replenish your resources 🍽️🍲
Are you ready to learn the secrets of the rainforest?

How often do we see Jaguars? 🇬🇾🐆
Honestly, very rarely 😂
But we do come across a lot of signs of their activity in the areas we go to. They are often to be found relatively close to communities, this because they chase packs of wild pigs, tapir or other mammals that go and raid the small family farms nearby 🐷
While it can cause issues when they start attacking domestic animals and livestock, it is interesting to point out that many mammals do sustain themselves periodically from eating out crobs planted by humans and in some sense as well periodically will be living in a symbiotic relationship with the humans that as well often threaten their existence 👀
Human wildlife interactions and relations are far more complex than one will see by just seeing it from one of the groups alone. One can almost say that in some cases a jaguar can help to protect individual farms, while of course it is deeply unfortunate when they start preying directly on peoples livestock, but again, a jaguar would never understand what is what 🫣
Is there places better than other to go and look for Jaguars? Absolutely, our Wai Wai expeditions going deep in to remote river systems is not a bad place to go and look. Nothing is clearly promised as it always is with wildlife, but it is a good place to join a trip to look for them 🔍

Sitting in your camp kitchen and having first row seats to @viviansmith4709 casually shooting 4 small Huri(wolf fish), is nothing short of a great show 🏹
We of course carry food, but any day a few fresh fish is choosen over the rations 😆
These small streams are full of fish and no time is wasted in filling a pot for a local boily(fish soup) for dinner 🍲
Join us for a trip and see why we in Guyana have some of the best jungle guides imaginable 🙏🇬🇾
