Fable inspired by Peter Raimondo
Peter Raimondo has been working as a master guide in the Wilderness Leadership School in the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve in South Africa since 2003.
He studied at the University of Cape Town, with a major in Philosophy, Anthropology, and Environmental and Geographical Sciences, but he prefers to work on the ground and offer people the chance to discover intuitive knowledge and the laws of nature.
He organises treks throughout the wilderness in South Africa so that the travellers can discover real life without the typical comfort of tents, prepared food and telecommunications.
