4 day Bushman TrailThe Bushman Trail lies in the south-western section of the Kruger National Park, near Berg-en-Dal restcamp.
  • Bush walks
  • Campfire dinners
  • Rock art
  • Guided walks
  • Archaeological sites

The trail camp is situated in a secluded valley. The landscape is characterised by awe-inspiring granite hills, reminiscent of the Zimbabwean Motobos, which provide splendid views of the surrounding bush where white rhino, elephant and buffalo are frequently encountered. Bushman paintings can be viewed in many of the hill shelters and are a feature of this trail.

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.

A daily conservation levy is payable (included in the price range indicated). Wild Card members do not pay conservation fees provided that Proof of Identity and Wild Card are presented on arrival.

Note: We charge a 10% Handling Fee on all Trail bookings. Wilderness Trails are not available between 15 December and 15 January.
