About the experience
Have you ever wondered how your ancestors lived ages ago? How did they meet their basic needs of food, fire, water, and shelter? The technological advancements today have made us a slave to modern comforts, but our nature craves this experience. At The Wild Survival Academy, we take you back in eons to have a life-transforming experience. You get trained in essential Survival Skills and subconsciously get wired to your primal instincts. The clarity on life, your vision, and the goals you experience after these five days’ workshop will transform you as a person to become better and more confident than ever before.
Though we are using the term primitive living for ease of understanding our methodologies in fact, we prefer to call it “Holistic Living” where you live in complete harmony with mother nature and all forms of life.

What customers are saying:
- This is a perfect break from our daily city lives and it teaches us about how important it is for us to know how to survive. Once we know how to survive with basically nothing, we can do anything we want to, and follow our dreams. They teach survival skills very well and are very friendly too. Huge respect for sir, and grateful to spend such quality wholesome time, discovering myself under the stars before the fire we lit, and all the skills I learned that I'll definitely use in my life. Definitely recommend this educational getaway.
