The Olifants Back Pack Trail is unique in the Kruger in that it requires participants to walk for 4 consecutive days carrying heavy packs each day over distances of 10 - 15 km. To attempt this demanding hike you will have to be reasonably fit and will also be required to present a medical certificate to prove that you are in good health. Before the start of the trail, hikers will be required to sign an indemnity form. There are no overnight huts on this trail. As the safety of hikers is of major importance, all participants have to bring tents and sleep in them every night while they are walking the trail. The trail leader will choose a suitable camp site every night. Participants will be responsible for setting up their own tents and for cooking their own meals. No rubbish bins or toilets are provided at any of the overnight stops - the trail is designed on a "take in, take out" basis and strictly adheres to a 'no trace camping' ethic. Please only use biodegradable products - soap and detergent - on the trail. Note: ecoAfrica charges a 10% booking fee for this trail. Costs are quoted on a per person basis, but the trail must be booked as a whole with 8 people per trail. Trails start on Sundays and Wednesdays respectively.
