Guides / porters / staff

Wild Spirit employs local guides and staff because they are the most knowledgeable. It is our policy that our local staff mix with the client group to ensure you have the greatest opportunity to learn about the culture of the country you are visiting. It assists our staff also in learning about other countries, assists them in developing their English speaking skills and aids in everlasting friendships. You are always met at the airport by a Wild Spirit representative who will assist you with hotel accommodation or transport.

Optionable

Some adventures, such as whitewater rafting, can be too demanding for some people. These experiences are not for everyone, so we include these as an Optionable item. You may just want a more relaxing alternative following the tour core activity.

Informative

Full immersion in nature and the culture of the exotic places you visit means you enter a new world mentally as well as physically. Our guides abound in local and historical knowledge. History and nature come alive as you relive the experiences of war-time heroes or the early pioneers. You may finally catch a glimpse of that wild Orang-utan or Bird of Paradise that you have only seen on Television.

Travel Documents

A money belt is a useful item in many of the countries we visit. It allows you to carry travel documents, cash and cards. We advise you to photocopy your passport and other important documents, record the numbers and leave copies with someone at home.

Clothing and equipment

The destinations we visit are varied! Each country has a specific equipment and clothing list. When you book a Wild Spirit Adventure, you receive a password allowing you to enter our “Client Section”. All necessary information and more can be found here. We have spent much time and energy developing what we believe are to be the most detailed and informative clothing and equipment lists of any company.
