4 day Metsi-Metsi Trail
The Metsi-metsi Trail runs through the area east of the Nwarmuriwa Mountain near Tshokwane. The trails camp lies at the foot of the mountain and overlooks a small waterhole. A hide provides the ideal place to view many species of birds and mammals at close range. The landscape varies from undulating savannah to rocky gorges and ravines. The Nwaswitsontso River, being one of the few permanent sources of water during the dry winter months, attracts an abundance of game - especially elephant. A great variety of wildlife, including black rhino and large predators, can be found there. Kruger's wilderness trails enable adventurous visitors to make close personal contact with nature by traversing large areas of unspoilt wilderness on foot, under the guidance of armed and experienced trail rangers. Groups are limited to eight persons and the duration is three nights and four days. A daily conservation levy is payable (included in the price range indicated). We charge a 10% Handling Fee on all Trail bookings. Wilderness Trails are not available between 15 December and 15 January.

The Metsi-metsi Trail runs through the area east of the Nwarmuriwa Mountain near Tshokwane. Explore this region on game walks at dusk and dawn, when it is cool, and the game is on the move. A qualified guide and ranger accompanies you. Simple, wholesome meals are provided. The day commences with coffee and rusks in the crisp morning hours. A light meal is enjoyed in the bush and brunch awaits the group when they return at noon. Evening meals comprise either hunters' stew or barbecues, supplemented with salads and vegetables. Upon your return to camp, enjoy supper under the stars while listening to the sounds of the bush, which comes alive at night.
In keeping with the wilderness atmosphere, sites for the trail camps are carefully selected for their scenic beauty and diverse plant and animal life. Groups spend three nights in four rustic two-bed huts. Ablution facilities comprise reed-walled showers and flush toilets. A covered lapa serves as a dining/socialising area where the campfire's flickering shadows encourage stories of adventures in the African bush.
