I repurposed this quote from 1883 as it made me think so much of what it feels like walking through the jungle. Next trip is the Amazon in October 2026. Message me if interested or click the link to find out more. https://t.co/XE6nXptapH

An Invitation:
The next Jungle Expedition is set for Autumn 2026 – and I am excited to share the details with you.
This will be our fifth expedition – following unforgettable journeys to Borneo, Guatemala, India, and Cambodia.
​
This time: we’re heading into the mighty Amazon.
The Amazon is the jungle we all imagine when we think of true adventure – vast, alive, and mysterious.
We’ll also be taking a fresh approach: working more closely than ever with native guides to learn their skills, knowledge, and way of life.
I’m holding a Zoom briefing next Monday evening (9th June) at 8pm UK time, and you’re warmly invited.
There’s absolutely no obligation to join the trip – the call is simply to share the plans, answer questions, and give you a real flavour of what’s in store.
Already, half the spaces have gone to returning expeditioners – so if you're curious, interested, or simply want to dream a little... come along.
If you can’t attend live, sign up anyway and I’ll send you the recording afterwards.

Hope to see you there.
All my very best,​
Matt

Returning home after a jam-packed Cambodian jungle expedition! From jungle temples, to helicopter insertions, to spectacular hidden waterfalls, motorbikes out & speedboat to a stunning island for some well deserved R&R!

Cambodia Expedition FAQ's

❓ Do I need to be super fit?
You just need to be able to comfortably carry a 25kg pack (it feels much lighter on your back than just picking up 25kg!). There are regular breaks during the day and men, women, young and old have all been able to complete it. The key is spirit and determination. You will receive a training program, tutorials and as much advice as you need.

❓ Is it safe?
Absolutely. This is the fourth trip. We have experienced guides, local experts, and a supportive group. We have comprehensive discussions, reviews and recce's are done. As my Colour Sergeant at Sandhurst used to say, "complacency is the enemy, you have to fight it to the bitter end!"

❓ Who is this for?
Anyone with a sense of adventure! Past participants range men and women from 19 to people in their 60's with varied experience levels.

🚁The Jungle Expedition phase begins with a helicopter insertion.

In 2001 I did my first entry into the Jungle on the Jungle Warfare Instructors course.

Flying low over the canopy in a helicopter was one of the more awe inspiring experiences in my Army Career.

I think that the insertion into the remote and untouched Cardamom Mountains will be one of the most unforgettable moments of the Cambodia Jungle Expedition too.

We will fly to the top of the mountain and then begin our journey.

From the moment your boots touch the jungle floor, you’ll begin a journey through one of Southeast Asia’s last pristine rainforests. Tigers, elephants, and gibbons await—will you?
