Wilderness Trails

These trails are offered at the Imfolozi Game Reserve (adjacent to Hluhluwe Game Reserve), and take place from mid-March to mid-December. The 3 day hike in the heart of the 30 000 hectare Wilderness area is an unforgettable experience.

The first and last nights are spent at the Mndindini Trails Camp which overlooks the White Mfolozi River. On the second and third nights, visitors stay in a tented camp in the pristine Wilderness area. An experienced game ranger accompanies visitors on the trail. All food is included in the trail tariff.

Weekend Wilderness Trails

The Weekend Wilderness Trails are great value for money and designed for those unable to find time for the full trail. The trails cost half the price of the traditional trail and run from mid-March to mid-December. These trails give visitors the opportunity to spend 2 nights in a tented camp in the unspoilt bushveld. The trails begin on Fridays and end on Sunday afternoons.
