But...where do I sleep? 🌿⛺️
If you've signed up for our 3-day walking trail, you might wonder where you'll spend your nights. We can confirm that it'll be in absolute tented comfort. And NO - you won't have to set up your own tent! We have a team that does that before you arrive at your campsite for the night. Dome tents are furnished with beds, carpet, and safari chairs outside. There's a chemical toilet, private bucket shower, and hand basin for cleaning.
Not bad for a wild walking safari experience, don't you think?

Here a few from the archives.

Moments on foot, moments in the vehicle 🚗
It goes without saying that WALKING is our mode of transport for trails. However, to cover more ground we do take guests out on short evening game drives. While being transported to base camp, there is also abundant opportunity to spot big cats and a host of other wild creatures.
One of the many highlights of exploring the Kruger on foot, is the opportunity to discover the small things. Butterflies, spiders, bugs and reptiles - there's time to stop and take stock of all the little creatures. Of course we love a game drive, but you don't often get to see spiders and caterpillars on a drive. On foot, you do!
Crackling fires and blazing sunsets. Isn't life on foot just crazy beautiful? We think so! When the sunsets mirror the colours of our campfires, we are left both spellbound and speechless.

Wilderness Trails: A Place and Space to Find Yourself 🌿
You'll never forget your first walking safari through the Kruger bushveld. The lasting memories are often the unpredictable ones.
A previous guest says, "Sure, you remember the insane lion sighting, campfire chatter, and landscapes. But what you don't expect to remember is the small things. I still think of what a "luxury power shower" those bucket showers actually are. And that gin and tonic at the end of a trail, served straight into my hands, was the best I've ever had. Nothing has ever tasted the same."
Going on trails affects you in positive ways that we can't put into words. It makes you remember a simple and authentic way of life. It makes you YOU again.
We hope that you're enjoying the first month of 2024, and that your safari plans are underway! Don't forget to add a walking safari to your travel bucket list. It's the greatest way to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Kruger wilderness. These photos are here to remind you that THIS IS US.

🌿🐘 Our 3-night Kruger walking safari is a mobile set-up where each night is spent in a different location. One of our locations is on the banks of the Olifants River, an area that supports a wealth of water-loving wildlife. While in this spot, you have every opportunity to spot waterbuck, crocodiles, elephants, and the ever-elusive Pel's fishing owl. Seeing these herds enjoying the waters of the river is always mesmerising. 🌿🐘

On Foot, We Notice What's Under Foot 📸
Our trail isn't a fast-paced hike where we aim for PBs. We take our time while out in the wilderness, taking stock of our surroundings and carefully observing tracks for signs of big game. We stop, listen, smell, and look for wildlife! It's a complete sensory experience.
One of the BEST things about being on foot is witnessing what happens under foot, a part of the safari experience that's just not possible while in a game viewer. Whether it's ant colonies, processionary caterpillars, or daring dung beetles, we stop to discuss all the small things.
☀️Celebrating a few of our blissful moments in the wild, taking stock of the enigmatic surrounds and smaller creatures that surround us. Come and spend 3 days with us, and create your own wilderness memories. 🍃
When you are walking through the bushveld, it’ll be during daylight hours. Predators are active during the cooler hours at dawn and dusk, and well into the night. Because we don’t want you to miss the opportunity of spotting predators, we take our intrepid walkers on short game drives.
Come and join our in-demand wilderness trail in the Greater Kruger. Led by a highly-qualified guiding team, our insane trails opens up a world of wonder. Discover life beneath foot, learn about the surrounding bushveld, and track predators on our additional evening game drives.
It’s a 3 day trail, making it long enough to experience the wild, yet short enough that it doesn’t impact your leave calendar.
Book your leave, book your trail, and let’s navigate our way through the wild—together.
We give guests the full Kruger experience here on trails. Although our guests are here to explore the area on foot, we do incorporate a few game drives. Drives cover a larger traverse and it's safer to be in a vehicle at night when the predators are active. Drives are shorter, but offer a wider scope for spotting wildlife. Also, it's pretty awesome to sit after all that walking! Thank you JD for these images.
Rainbows, tracks, and giants. These are just a few of the things to spot while out on foot. Around every corner is something remarkable to see. Expert trails guides lead you into amazing sightings, while teaching you about the wild as you traipse through remote bushveld. Keep walking! 👣

It's cosy, it's cool, and it's an adventure. Watch the video if you haven't seen it yet.
