  • Guided walks

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). 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.
