After visiting the epic Abu Simbel, I took this boat to the Nubian Village, enjoyed many hibiscus drinks and danced the night away

The love we create on these soul journeys is like nothing I have ever experienced before.

We arrive as complete strangers, and on the first day there is always a little bit of awkwardness. Sometimes there is an immediate remembrance, that feeling of somehow already knowing each other.

And then, day after day, something happens.

We remember each other.

We remember that we have been here before.
That we have walked these lands together.
That somehow, Egypt knows us and we know each other.

Sometimes we trigger each other.
Sometimes we make each other laugh until we cry.
We dance, we pray, we share, we move through so much together.

And somewhere along the way, a group of strangers becomes soul family.

As our upcoming Egypt journey comes closer, we invite you to journey with us.
Nov 5-12
We have only 4 to 5 spots left, and already such a sweet group coming together.

Comment EGYPT and we will reach out with more information.

Sending so much love to all of you. taken in Philae Temple, Aswan by @rick_vaca

What does it mean to truly be one with nature? 🌿🦁🐾

For Kavya, it was stepping into the wild, and experiencing South Africa in a way that felt deeply connected to the animals and the environment around her.

On WildeCapture, you don’t just experience nature, you realise you’re truly part of it.

💬 If you’re ready to find your own connection, comment “WILDE” to keep up with our WildeCapture 2027 dates!

Ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes of wildlife conservation? 💥

🚁 From wildlife captures and veterinary procedures to game capture operations and conservation planning, there are so many tactical skills that go into protecting endangered species that most people never get to see. These aren’t just exciting moments- they’re essential skills for anyone working on the front lines of wildlife conservation.

🦏 Aside from these tactical side quests, you’ll spend your week learning wildlife medicine and animal care alongside veterinarian @thejunglevet, gaining an inside look at every side of conservation. From hands-on veterinary work to game capture operations, you’ll experience the teamwork, planning, and practical skills that make it all possible. And you’ll look pretty cool while doing it…

💬 If you’re ready to experience conservation in action, comment “WILDECAPTURE” to join us at the end of August- we only have 2 spots left!

Sharing this beautiful testimonial from Abby.

Thank you, beloved Abby, for sharing your experience and your heart with us.

For trusting us and journeying with us not once, but twice to Egypt, and also to Avalon. It has been such a gift to walk beside you and witness the way you bring the sacred into your everyday life.

Thank you for being a bridge between the spiritual and the earthly, between the ancient mysteries and the world we live in today.

We are deeply grateful for your presence, your trust, and the light you bring into these journeys.

Our next Egypt journey is coming this November, and we would love to welcome you with us.

If you feel the call and want to receive more information, comment “Hathor” and we will reach out personally. by @rick_vaca

We love our Silvia @paradisi_in_valigia_! 💚 Silvia has traveled to Africa over 38 times, yet her mission with Wilde Tracks remains one of her most unforgettable experiences. Why? Because this wasn’t just about seeing wildlife- it was about helping to protect it.

We believe people protect what they know, and there’s nothing more powerful than giving people the chance to experience wildlife conservation firsthand!

Over the missions, Silvia has become a lifelong friend (and an excellent darter 😉), and we’re so grateful to have shared these incredible moments with her. Thank you for believing in our mission Silvia, and for reminding us why we do what we do. A tanti altri! 🌍🦒✨
