Guyana:

These trips take 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 easy and how much fun it is to live in the jungle.

As soon as you arrive in country we start the acclimatization process and take you hundreds of miles deep into the jungles of Guyana.

Here we will issue you all the kit you need and continue your training. You will get the chance to put up and sleep in your own hammock, learn how to use a machete safely, bathe in jungle rivers and take in all the wildlife and strange sounds the forest has to offer. We also have to sort out the gear we need to take. We have to carry as light a pack as possible, but still have all the food, camp equipment and safety kit we need for the adventure ahead.

Venture trips combine elements of survival, trek, training, cowboy adventures and a few extras thrown in just for the fun, including abseiling down jungle rock faces. Venture trips are non-stop and the team is always on the go. They are designed for those who want to try everything, and who have the physical and mental stamina to cope with it. Each venture trip is unique. We never do the same trip twice so please contact us for the specific itinerary for the trip you are interested in.

Belize

Situtaed in Central America, South of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Belize is about the size of Wales and home to legends of the Mayan, great jungle, an amazing reef and one of the best dives, if not the best, in the world - The Blue Hole. For two trips only in 2010 the Bushmasters crew will be back in Belize (Ian lived there for two years) for two week long jungle ventures with an optional add on week of fun in the sun with diving, Mayan ruins and sandy beaches with blue, blue sea to mess around in.

We'll be running jungle training at the amazing 5 Blues Lake area before moving into the jungle by helicopter,  where we'll trek caves, cross rivers and explore the jungle of Belize.

There is only one trip per year and there are limited places, with first refusal going to guys who've been on Bushmasters trips in the past, so get in real quick if you're keen.

JORDAN

Our new Arabian Desert trips will take you to Wadi Rum in the south of Jordan. This is where Lawrence of Arabia became famous and is one of the most stunning places on earth.

On this two week venture you'll drive 4x4 vehicles through the desert, ride camels, gallop on Arabian horses and trek deep into the desert amongst the plethora of wadi (dry river beds). Our Native Bedouin guides and Bushmasters instructor will show you what you need to know to survive in this, one of the harshest environments on earth.

Though a stunning setting the desert is a harsh environment and this trip will be one of our toughest ventures, but most likely also one of the best ever!

After we've shaken the last of the sand out of our boots we'll head to the Red Sea Resort of Aqaba for our final days, to tell stories and maybe take in a bit of diving nearby, which is renowned as some of the best in the World. The Arabain Venture is a truly amazing experience and in 2012 we'll be running just two trips in the cooler months of the Autumn. this is one not to miss out on!!!
