About the leadership program

Change is a constant in business and in our personal life. Broaden your leadership approach and accelerate your organization's transformation and establish your own leadership style through self-awareness. Join us on our journey to learn indigenous wisdom and ancient practices. You'll come away with a new way of thinking that you can use to create a powerful mindset of change in your organization and personal life. Let the Maasai elders and their spiritual leaders guide you into the indigenous wisdom for leading and living responsibly. We use the breathtaking African nature as our inspiration for transforming our thinking. 

The Maasai and the Hadzabe hunter-gatherers have adopted a revitalized approach to preserve their culture in modern times. Their way of life is deeply rooted in traditions that have been practiced in the same way for hundreds of years. On this journey, you develop leadership, empower others to take responsibility and create a motivated culture, and embrace of change. It includes workshops on Maasai wisdom facilitated by respected Maasai elders. You have a privilege to meet and discuss with a Maasai "laibon" who is the spiritual leader and herbalist of the Maasai. He teaches us about spiritual healing and the use of natural plants for bush medication.

After spending time with the Maasai in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, we continue our journey into Hadzabe land in northern Tanzania. Space is limited for this precious opportunity to learn from and interact with one of the world's last hunter-gatherers people who live totally in balance with nature. The indigenous Hadzabe wisdom and lifestyle is built around respecting nature. The Hadzabe indigenous wisdom contains the belief that we are all related, including all living and inanimate beings. For the Hadzabe, honey is gold as it’s valued more than meat and fat in their diet. The Hadzabe harvest the honey from wild bees of seven different species, and the essential species is the African honeybee. As the Hadzabe lives in a total balance with nature, they allow harvesting honey only during the periods of the rainy season so that the bees can store a surplus.

The program includes one full-day game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater. We stay in our secluded and private bush camp in the Ngorongoro far away from touristic routes. Here you can immerse yourself to the most beautiful African nature and start to transform and create a powerful mindset of change.
