2 spaces just opened up for our Jungle Survival Course this September! 🤩
We’ve been fully booked for the past 3 months, but fate has it that two spots are now available from September 21st to October 3rd for our world-renowned 13-day / 12-night Jungle Survival Course 🏹🌿

The course is $3,199 USD and led by our A-team of expert instructors from Surama village. You’ll be trained in everything from firelighting, fishing, hydration techniques, and shelter-building — all leading up to the legendary solo phase, where you’ll put your skills to the test and survive alone in the jungle 🙌

Expect epic rainforest, rare wildlife, incredible fellow participants, and maybe even a surprise guest or two 😉

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it 💪🇬🇾

We’ve just completed our tourism training in Kanashen with the Masakenari village, in collaboration with and 🙏

This training engaged over 50 community members, covering key areas such as birding, wildlife interpretation, social media, cooking, lodge management, and sport fishing, among many others.

The program was delivered by an outstanding team of trainers, including , , , Angela Allicock, Amarissa Barker, and Samuel Fredericks.

We were supported throughout by the committed PAC rangers Phillip, Kwan, Mark, Cavin, and Benjamin (Bushman), along with ACT coordinator Joe Daniels and many other incredible community members who made this all possible.

We are already planning our 2026 expeditions, and if you are interested in joining the next journey into this remarkable region, reach out.
This is one of the most remote, authentic, and enchanting stretches of rainforest left on Earth, and we are excited to return 🥳

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this training possible.

Amarissa, program manager from Visit Rupununi have been conducting training with Masakenari Tourism Committee in social media 🥳
Go and give them a follow and see as they start sharing their amazing life and traditions from one of the most remote villages of the region.
It is truly a special place with some incredible people 🙏🇬🇾

The residents of Masakenari recently benefited from a two-day social media training program, facilitated by Visit Rupununi and Wild Tales, and funded by the Amazon Conservation Team Guianas.

Eight dedicated participants gained valuable knowledge in creating and managing their community page, as well as crafting engaging content to share the stories, culture, and natural beauty of Masakenari with a wider audience.

This training marks a meaningful step toward empowering the community through digital storytelling and visibility. Please ensure to like and follow our page for more content.

has dropped his second video about his visit to Guyana on YouTube! 🥳🏹

In this episode, you can follow Mav through his training on our jungle survival course and get a behind-the-scenes look at his thoughts and preparations leading up to the solo phase 💪

We had a blast hosting him here in Guyana and hope to see him back for some river monsters fishing one day in the future 😏

Many of our guests arrive laser-focused on the solo experience, but before anyone is dropped into the rainforest alone, we take them through comprehensive, hands-on training.
This gives every participant the skills and confidence needed to succeed in one of the world’s most exciting survival challenges 🙏

We have spaces available again from January 2026 if you’re ready to take on the jungle.

We were recently joined by from the US — a content creator who came to take on our jungle survival course… and then opted for an extended 5-day solo phase in the rainforest!

Let’s just say — he got seriously rained on!
Fishing and self-reliance aren’t new for Mav, but this was his first time experiencing the jungle in Guyana — and it brought a whole new set of challenges.

The conditions were tough, the opportunities rare, and the learning curve steep… but he powered through and absolutely smashed it.

It’s always an incredible moment for us to watch how each person approaches their solo phase after all the training — and Mav brought the grit, the mindset, and a lot of laughs too.

recently conducted our jungle survival course and he made this smashing video of the solo phase available on YouTube 💪🇬🇾🥇
Yet another example why Guyana is likely the world’s premiere area to experience a jungle survival training 🙏
From the vast wilderness, abundant resources to the invaluable local knowledge. It all comes together to the ultimate jungle survival experience 🤝

It is not Donny’s first visit to the jungle, in fact is this the second time we have the pleasure of working with Donny as we as well had the opportunity under the Discovery Channel production First Man Out, where we supplied logistical, environmental and safety consultancy for a part of the production team on the ground.

Donny clearly is quite self sufficient so besides us not knowing whether he would run away in the bush hunting something, we knew he would do very well in the rich jungle of Guyana 😂

Thanks for visiting 🥳

This was all made possible with the support and funding from 🇬🇾🥇

We were so fortunate to have and joining us to survive in the rainforest. Much more will come on that!
