Jungle Expeditions

with Expedition Leader, Mat Howes

Jungles and tropical rainforests are, without question, the most awe-inspiring biomes on Earth. The first time you set foot into the jungle your senses are overloaded. Everything is so novel and unfamiliar; from the evening chorus of insects and amphibians, to the dense, cathedral-like canopy arching above you.

You’re invited to join Mat Howes, Expedition Leader, as he takes us through the secrets of how to survive in the jungle. Mat will impart on us his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm as a veteran of expeditions all over the tropics.
