The Wild Tales

It was definitely a good call bringing to the and tourism training in Masakenari, she was the only one really catching any fish 😂

What an interesting visit to this remote part of Guyana during rainy season. As always, it was such a privilege to spend time with the incredible Wai Wai community 🇬🇾

We’re now gathering a group for our next overland expedition heading in from 26th October to 15th November 2026 — a 20-day journey into one of the most remote corners of South America.

This trip is ideal for anyone looking for a fully immersive expedition filled with great wildlife, fishing, deep traditional culture, and wild camping along pristine jungle rivers 🙏

Morning roast after a successful night of fishing in the mountains 🐟🔥
While the rest of us were fast asleep recovering from the day’s jungle hike, our Kopinang team was out doing what they do best, fishing in the night with unmatched skill and patience.

By the time the sun rose, the fire was already crackling and fresh fish was roasting. Whatever they didn’t eat for breakfast got carefully packed and carried for later meals.

These practices aren’t just tradition, they’re the foundation of our survival teachings too. Knowing how to smoke, dry, and carry fish for days is a game changer on long expeditions and journeys🏕️

We found something incredible 🇬🇾🥇

Deep in the Pakaraima mountains, led by our amazing team from Kopinang, we recently experienced a cave, a site unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Inside, we saw ancient pictographs painted on the walls and ceiling, featuring animals, symbols, and human figures.

We want to express our deepest thanks to the community of Kopinang for bringing us and sharing this impressive site. Without their guidance, none of this would have been possible. 🙏

To ensure this discovery gets the attention it deserves, we’ve formally handed over all documentation and findings to the University of Guyana for further archaeological study and cultural preservation.

This might be one of the most significant finds we’ve made on expedition, and it’s only the beginning.

We are still buzzing from this Anaconda encounter! 😂🐍
It’s not every day you spot one in the B***o B***o River, but didn’t hesitate for a second and managed to land this absolute unit of a snake!
One of the most awe-inspiring moments of the expedition, pure jungle power 💪🌿
Basically just one giant muscle sliding through the rainforest 😆

Collecting people after their solo-phase is always special, but picking up was honestly one of the best moments yet! 😂🙏

Lionel is a videographer and creative in many media trades, but, believe it or not, he had never spent a night in nature before joining our Jungle Survival Course 😶

After 7 days of intense training, we dropped him off deep in the rainforest for his solo-phase… and he absolutely nailed it.
But let’s just say… the relief and joy when we met him again was priceless 🤣

Massive respect for stepping this far outside your comfort zone and pushing through. This is what it’s all about! 🔥🌿

We had some really interesting days on this jungle survival course, including an encounter with an Anaconda that Joe Flowers from Bushcraft Global managed to secure for a close up inspection 🐍

It is not every time we get this lucky to see an animal as majestic as this one, but what a beauty 🙌

There is so much wildlife in the areas where we run our trainings, and while the main focus is learning skills, the rainforest always adds its own surprises 🫡

Please check out the brilliant work from Shannon Holland following father Ashley, his team and Guyana truly wild deep in to the jungle of Guyana! 🫡
If this doesn’t give you the lust for adventure and expeditions, nothing will 🙌

We are still in the jungle, but I think we can already reveal that our cave expedition has been an astonishing success 🇬🇾
This has truly been the biggest archaeological and cultural experience we have ever had on an expedition. Walking into a cave completely covered in ancient pictures and signs was beyond anything we could have imagined 🙏

It was absolutely worth the three and a half days of tough mountain travel to reach ⛰️
There are so many more stories to come from this epic adventure, but for now we want to give a heartfelt thanks to the team from Kopinang: Ian Haramottoo, Milford Pablo, Francis David, Jude Perreira, Elbert Thomas, Compton Francis and to the village for allowing us to take part in such an extraordinary experience.

Without our team from Kopinang this would never have been possible 🫡
This site is likely one of the best preserved and most remarkable places with cave paintings and drawings in all of Guyana 🤩

is joining the team and will be stepping into the role of expedition leader alongside the rest of the crew on our upcoming Kopinang mountain expedition 🔥
Joe first visited us back in 2023 on our Wai Wai expedition, where he instantly got hooked on the rainforest.

With his passion for wildlife, culture, archaeology and discovery, he is the perfect addition to our team here in Guyana.
He is already involved in researching, planning and presenting our expeditions back in Europe, and very soon he will be leading his own trips with The Wild Tales.

We are extremely excited to welcome him on board and are looking forward to all the incredible adventures we have in the making 🥇
