Internship testimonials

Survival course in Hanzabe, Tanzania, November 2024

Good evening... I 'm finally taking the time to send you my feedback for Tanzania 2024.

Well, once again, it's a success! Thank you ❤️

When I look back at the photos and see the faces of the people I talk to about it, I realize that this adventure is not for ordinary mortals, that it is extraordinary and unique in its kind.

...

Tanzania, what a beautiful country, with its incredibly smiling people. Having lived in Germany for five years now, arriving there was like being hit with a wave of pure joy. The Hadza people moved me deeply, amazed me with their kindness, their simplicity, their smiles, their honesty, their respect for sharing, and so much more. The Tanzanians told us we were going to encounter "savages," but we encountered what was real, pure, and alive. Humans know how to communicate so well with each other, even without speaking a common language. They did things to me that I can't even describe. To this day, I still feel like I'm in a parallel world, trying to ask myself the real questions about my own life.

I hope to be able to hold onto these values and use them every day. It is by learning a little more each day that we can evolve and know who we are, where we come from, and it is by giving love that beautiful things come to us.

internship Tanzania

For me, it was my first survival course and it was perfect.

I was supposed to go to Morocco, but luck played its part, since I was able to send about a hundred people who were able to experience exceptional moments with the last hunter-gatherers of Africa, the "Hanzabés".

I hope that their way of life will be preserved, and that they will still be able to live in their own way in the future as they have since the dawn of time.

It was an unforgettable experience and I realize how incredibly lucky I was to have been able to live through those moments.

I would also like to thank my former colleagues, and more specifically my close colleague, without whom I would never have discovered Denis Tribaudeau and his company "Panter Création" nor even the Hanzabés.

Thanks also to all the participants in this training course.

For some of us, we didn't know each other.

We experienced some powerful, unforgettable moments and we all supported each other through the difficult times.

Thank you all, I will never forget you

Survival course in Hanzabe, Tanzania, November 2024

1. The environment: Hats off to this extraordinary scouting. As a lover of Africa, it was "Wowwww" to live at the pace of the Bush and the Hanzabes for a few days.

If I were to try to find a constructive comment, I'd say I would have liked one to three more days. But I imagine that's purely theoretical; because we clearly saw that the group was eager to be extracted from the Bush, that the duration has been tested over the years, and that the Hanzabes are certainly eager to regain their peace and quiet.

2. Supervision: What can we say about our internship supervisor? 🤪 Top-notch

High emotional intelligence combined with a keen sense of humor, interspersed with teasing glances at her offspring and constant empathy towards a group, quite amateur in this regard, with emotions becoming more intense as the hours go by.

3. The organization: Absolutely top-notch. Thank you to the entire team behind this magnificent and intense, timeless adventure, making it possible year after year.

In short, a rejuvenating and unforgettable experience.

I had the chance to participate in Terra Incognita in Tanzania with the Hanzabe people... it was an extraordinary experience, worthy of Mike Horn... sumptuous landscapes, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Thanks to Denis's professionalism, we had a magnificent, rich, and enriching stay. Each day was a new adventure filled with hunting, gathering, fire-making, and crafting arrows and bows... a very strong bond united us with the other participants, and the adventure culminated in a spectacular safari and stay at the hotel... I come away from this experience transformed, especially as a person... I highly recommend this course to people who enjoy sharing and exchanging ideas... live your dreams... Thank you again to Denis and Nadia for everything.

A huge thank you! Thank you to Denis and Nadia for allowing us to experience such an adventure. Thank you both for all the work you put in beforehand! Thank you to Denis for his teaching skills. Thanks to the Handzabés, we learned a life lesson during our survival course. We sometimes had close calls with hell, but it was paradise! Finally, thank you both for allowing me to meet nine incredibly endearing people! An experience I will certainly remember for the rest of my life!
