About Us

Two worlds.
One unforgettable
experience.The story behind Tracking Success.

Founded in 2018 by three friends who'd spent years moving between Africa's wild places and the world's boardrooms.

The Origin Story

It started with three friends: Grant, Ian and Alex.

For years, they lived in two very different worlds. In the business world, they began to notice the same problem again and again: too many meetings were built around presentations, not participation. People sat, listened, and consumed information, but the real conversations often never happened.

World One · The Bush

Walking with wildlife trackers.

Tracking, learning, and living alongside expert wildlife trackers in Africa's wild places. Teams working under pressure. Decisions made with incomplete information. Subtle signals read. Constant adaptation.

World Two · The Boardroom

Inside conferences and strategy sessions.

Years inside corporate meetings, boardrooms, and leadership programmes. Endless slide decks. Sit, listen, consume. Real conversations rarely happened. The room left without true alignment.

What if we could bring these two worlds together?

— and so Tracking Success was born.
Today

Not just another workshop. Not just another conference session.

A shared experience that changes how teams think, communicate, and work together, blending adventure, storytelling, teamwork, and meaningful business dialogue into an immersive learning experience unlike anything else in the world.
