4 day Sweni Trail

Description: 

Conjure up a picture of Africa at it's wildest: herds of zebra and wildebeest and tall, stately giraffe scattered across sun-drenched grass plains; the pungent smell of buffalo in one's nostrils, the heart-stopping sight of an enormous elephant bull feeding in a thick stand of lala palms only metres away ... the trail camp of the Sweni Trail, which overlooks the Sweni Stream in the wilderness area near Nwanetsi provides a view of the surrounding marula and knobthorn savannah. As this area is home to the Sweni lion pride, encounters of the closest kind are not uncommon. Both black and white rhino have been sighted. 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.

Highlights: 

The trail camp of the Sweni Trail overlooks the Sweni Stream and the surrounding marula and knobthorn savannah in the central section of the Kruger Park. An area well known to the Sweni lion pride!
