Once a trekker - Always a trekker
According to the oxford dictionary a trek is ‘a long hard walk lasting several days or weeks, especially in mountains’. The word originates from the Dutch for ‘promenade, and was refined to its current meaning by Boer (farmer) emigrants to South Africa who went on difficult walks during their search for new land.
Trekking has a meditative effect on both mind and body: you are surrounded by nature with few materialistic disturbances. Being pampered by a local staff gives you time to concentrate on other thing such as a good walk, a good meal, and a very good night’s sleep under the stars. Trekking is the ultimate experience of a quiet, healthy and active holiday.
