During the camping portion of your trip, youβll sleep under a canopy of stars in some of Georgiaβs most stunning natural locations.

The program is semi-flexible, as some guesthouses are booked in advance. During camping moments, however, there is more room to adjust the program to factors like weather conditions or spontaneous ideas from the group. On hiking trails, the program is less flexible due to fixed routes, but on the 4x4 trails and combo trails, thereβs more freedom to shape the adventure as it unfolds.
We always strive to strike a balance between planning and spontaneity, ensuring you can make the most of your adventure.
