A fable inspired by Peter Raimondo
Peter Raimondo has been working since 2003 as a master guide at the Wilderness Leadership School in the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve, South Africa.
He studied at the University of Cape Town, specializing in philosophy, anthropology, and environmental and geographical sciences, but he prefers to work in the field and offer people the opportunity to discover intuitive knowledge and the laws of nature.
He organizes treks in the South African wilderness so that travelers can experience real life without the typical comforts of tents, prepared food, and telecommunications.
