The Great Outdoors

The Great Outdoors

Spend a week in the wilderness, in the heart of Eastern Europe. 

Just hours away from most international airports in Europe lies Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia, known for its rich history and charismatic people. Our journey takes us from here into the mountains of the Suva Planina (Dry Mountain) where we set camp. During our trip we will rise with the sun, enjoy beautiful views, breathe the mountain air and listen to the sounds of nature, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We will stay in tents, until we move to the river, where our nights will be spent in comfortable wooden huts. You will have a go at climbing up and down rock formations used for Serbian Special Unit training, trek to the top of the Suva Planina from where half the country can be seen, learn nature survival skills, go canyoning and white water rafting down one of the most beautiful rivers in the region. 

The Great Outdoors is one of our best suited tours for people with a taste for nature but without some of our more extreme activities. This trip will provide you with a deep and refreshing detox from your office and city life.

DAY 1

Enjoy a complimentary luxury van ride from your Belgrade hotel or airport to the camp site. We meet at the airport on Sunday the 28th (Orthodox Easter Day), at 4pm or between 4.30pm and 5.30pm at your hotel. From there you will be taken to the camp site where your instructors will greet you and help set up camp. Dinner will be prepared and as you enjoy a traditional Serbian meal and some Orthodox Easter traditions, your instructors will brief you on the activities for the days ahead. 

DAY 2

We wake up early to catch the sunrise and enjoy the fresh mountain air. After breakfast we trek to the rock formations that the Serbian Special Forces use for their alpine training. Our instructors are a mix of military and civilian backgrounds and each have unique skills to share with you.  There is always a doctor on site as well. Beginners will start easy where more advanced individuals can attempt some more complex manoeuvres. 

DAY 3

The following day is our nature survival day where your group will learn to navigate in nature, start a fire, build a shelter, set traps, and more. Not only will the skills you learn help you get through the day but will make for a really great story back home. 

DAY 4

On the fourth day we climb Trem, the summit of the Suva Planina. Its a challenging climb, but we have never had anyone back out. The view from the top and the feeling of success will stay with you for years. By the time you make it back to camp, the bus will be waiting to take you to our next destination - our river camp. We arrive just in time for dinner and if you so fancy, you may partake in some local music as well.

DAY 5-6

The next day we are driven deep into the mountains of Montenegro where we begin our canyoning and white water rafting experience. The Tara river will be our host over the next two days. Its a wild river and can really feel like a roller coaster at this time of the year. Our experienced instructors will help you navigate it an really enjoy your time to the fullest. With a successful descent we complete our course and spend most of the next day driving back to Belgrade.

DAY 7

You will have time to share some great photos and memories along the way and will arrive back to Belgrade just in time for dinner. Belgrade is known for good food and we will make sure you try some of the best delicacies the city has to offer. Although the dinner and hotel is included in the package, the tour ends here. If you wish you may enjoy a quiet night sleep, or if you have some energy to spare, party it up in some of the capitals best bars and clubs (not included in the fare though).
