Unwind in the Mountains—Without Leaving Comfort Behind.

This exciting 24-hour outdoor mountain adventure has been carefully curated by Bear Grylls and his hand-picked team of experts. On day one, parent-child teams are formed, and Bear’s instructors will teach you how to build a fire, navigate at night, purify water and build a shelter to keep you safe. You'll also learn extreme weather survival techniques and complete an abseil down a sheer cliff face to test your nerve. On day two, you'll put your skills to the test; ensure that you pay attention. You'll follow Bear's well-practised self-rescue skills and cross challenging terrain back to civilisation. The Primal Survival Family Adventure is an extraordinary way to bring your family together, have some fun and create some unforgettable memories. 

The following items will give you maximum comfort in a wilderness environment. Note that all of the equipment you bring should be fitting for a survival challenge. Ensure that you bring appropriate clothing for the soaring desert temperatures in the summer and the sometimes cold nighttime elements in the winter. The items should be hardwearing. Any kit that you do not need can be stored securely at base camp.

The primal survival course runs on alternate Fridays from 12.00 noon to 12.000 noon on Saturday.

The course begins as soon as you step into the ancient wilds of the Jebel Jais Mountains. With 70-million years of history surrounding you, your instructor will teach you how to identify various animal runs in the desert, lay traps, prepare your catch for dinner and forage for supplementary nutrients. You’ll acquire survival knife skills, wilderness first aid, fire lighting techniques and different rope skills like tying knots and making harnesses. All of these skills will culminate in you navigating tricky terrains such as steep cliffs, ridges and wadis. Bear's team will teach you how to build emergency shelters to protect you against inclement weather and shield you from attacks in the wild. The intense 24-hour survival experience is exciting, challenging and sometimes truly terrifying, but you will look back with a sense of achievement and overwhelming pride that you have overcome such seemingly insurmountable challenges and tasks.

W for Water

Locating water within 24 hours is essential. Your survival without water is limited to three days.
