This five-day trail is quite exceptional, starting where two countries meet and ending at the joining of a third (South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique).
It runs the length of the Kruger National Park. Although it’s not an obstacle course or a testing ground for 4x4s, participants will need to be true bush lovers.
It’s self-catering and, while stops are made in Lower Sabie, Olifants and Shingwedzi Camps for fuel, water and showers, the rest is bush camping.
The way there: Take the N4 towards Komatipoort. Enter the Kruger National Park at Crocodile Bridge Gate.
Accommodation: Campers have to take all their own equipment.
Booking is essential through South African National Parks (which has recently opened up the overnight Malopeni Eco Trail). Contact: Hesther van den Berg tel 012-426-5117, email, Website.
