Bouncing through jungle, crossing rivers, cruising the savannahs, spotting wildlife from roof mounted seats at night. Spend a few days on the ranch working as cowboys and in the jungle catching piranha for your dinner. You driving to these remote places, getting bogged in and getting out, breaking the truck, then repairing it, being able to live through the night, wherever you happen to stop!

Bushmasters 4x4 trips are all about you exploring and having fun in really remote jungle and savannahs, with specially kitted out vehicles, which you'll have to learn to drive, maintain and fix.

On this 16 day adventure you'll be traveling with a Bushmasters instructor and local bush drivers, mechanics, cowboys (or vaqueros as they are known here) and local Amerindian jungle hunters.

We'll spend a few days training on the vehicles; learning about the kit and equipment in the vehicles, how to drive off road, how to use 4 wheel drive, winches, hi-lift jacks, how to clear obstacles, fit mud chains, cross water obstacles, fix flat tyres and much more. Of course we'll also have to go through how we'll be living in the jungles and savannahs we'll be crossing. Whether in hammocks or tents, the whole trip is out on the trail, making camp by the side of our vehicles and having to carry everything with us that we'll need.

Training behind us and everyone confident in their new found skills we head to the south savannahs to spend a few days on a cattle ranch which time has left behind. Konaiki-kizai ranch belongs to Charlo and Colette Melville, whose families have been in the area for hundreds of years. At one time Charlo's grandfather's ranch, (Dadanawa) was the largest cattle ranch ever, in the world. Here you’ll live as a vaquero, tending to the duties on a ranch. Milking the cows every morning, lassoing the young ones to separate them from mother when she goes out to graze, rounding up the herd on horse back, branding the new-borns - everything on a ranch with no electricity and no running water, but the most beautiful creek in the world and savannah and jungle animals ranging from the Giant Anteater to howler monkeys in the nearby forest, calling out like lions each day.

From the savannah we move to a new extreme, with you driving us deep into the jungle on some very tough trails. Then for a few days you'll get chance to experience the primary, pristine jungles of Amazonia. We'll head in by dug out canoe, use machete to cut threw the bush, sleep in hammocks overnight, catch piranha for dinner, all surrounded by the towering rainforest trees with everything from spiders to monkeys, jaguars to giant otters for company.

All this, whilst crossing some beautiful terrain, passing through a number of traditional villages home to Makushi and Wapishana Amerindian tribes, before, very reluctantly, having to leave the savannah and jungle behind and returning home.
