Bushmasters offer Standard, RAW and 24/7 jungle survival courses - ask us for a detailed Survival Itinerary.
Standard Survival
This 2 week trip takes you to the remote, pristine jungles of Guyana, in South America. With a Bushmasters instructor and the vast knowledge of two senior, local Amerindian guides you will learn just how comfortable you can make yourself in the jungle with almost nothing.
Before you even reach your remote jungle base camp deep in the rainforest, you will have traveled by light aircraft, 4x4 vehicle and dug out canoe. Inbetween we take a stop a local amerindian community where we kit you out with specialised jungle gear for the adventure ahead. All this in itself takes a couple of days!
The Training Phase
In the jungle you will set up your own basha and hammock site - this will be your home for the next week! Then your training begins. We will take you through all the skills you need to find water, make shelter, light a fire and procure food.
You will be eating some strange, but very tasty bugs, starting fire with no match or lighter, recognising water vines, fishing for piranha, stalking wild game with bow & arrow and a whole lot more...
The Isolation Phase
Finally, training time is up and you're put in a true-to-life survival situation. On your own (or in a buddy pair) you'll find your self in a new piece of jungle where for the next few days you must do everything yourself. With no more than the clothes you're wearing, your trusty machete, bow & arrow and belt kit, you'll put all your new found skills to the test.
With not even a torch or even a watch to help you, let alone any other modern gadget, it's now down to your wits and will to survive. Can you cope!?
At the end of your adventure you are back at a community eco-lodge to unwind, swap stories and drink beers with your guides. From there it is back to the capital of Georgetown by light aircraft, stopping en route at the tallest single drop waterfall in the world, Kaieteur Falls - a reward in itself!

RAW Survival
RAW trips are identical to the Standard Survival courses, only we cut out all the fancy luxuries to reduce costs to a bare minimum. No aircraft charter flights on this trip, instead you get 12 hours on a local bus in and out of the forest! There are no smart lodges and no all-in trips to Kaieteur Falls.
The jungle time is identical; you get the same staff, same fun, same sleep deprivation, same excitement, same adventure and the same chance to survive on your skills and wits alone!
A RAW trip means you get the real deal at about a third of the price. Now there really are no excuses! Can you cope?

Survival 24/7
For those of you short on holiday or those wanting some intense jungle time followed by a week on a Caribbean beach comes Survival 24/7.
For one long week we'll take you through all the skills needed to survive in the jungle. The skills are the same as on our RAW and Standard courses, in the same jungle, with the same amazing local hunter guides, but compacted into one week. Given time pressures we have to fly you in and out of the jungle, (vehicles just take too long) and the isolation phase is condensed into one day.
