Exciting new 4x4 Adventure Trails in the Kruger National Park

On the 1st of November 2003, four new Kruger Park 4x4 Adventure Trails were launched in sectional areas of the world famous Kruger National Park. The 4 trails are the Northern Plains Adventure Trail set north of Shingwedzi, the Nonokani Adventure Trail set between Phalaborwa and Letaba, the Mananga Adventure Trail set east of Satara and lastly the Madlabantu Adventure Trail near Pretoriuskop.

All routes for the Kruger Park 4x4 Adventure Trails have been carefully selected from a range of existing roads that comply with the Kruger National Park Recreation Opportunity Zoning Plan. The Recreation Opportunity Zoning plan is designed to keep wilderness areas intact yet identifying and maintaining development prospects for tourism in the Kruger National Park. All the Kruger Park 4x4 Adventure Trails take about 4 to 5 hours to complete.

The routes for this Kruger Park 4x4 Adventure Trails have been designed to keep guests as close as possible to the different wilderness areas and to reveal the uniqueness of the panorama and ecosystem. As a result of the trails not being gravelled, they will be closed after heavy rains for them to completely dry up. Therefore there will be no advance bookings and clients will only be able to book the morning they plan to go on this Kruger Park Adventure Trails.

For ecological concerns of the trail, there can only be six 4x4 vehicles allowed on each trail per day. The trails are self-drive and guests are advised to bring their Global Positioning System (GPS) even though maps are provided for this Kruger Park 4x4 Adventure Trails. Further more guests are advised to make use of ablutions facilities at the closest camp to the start of the trail as there are no ablutions along the way of the safari.

The cost of the Kruger Park Adventure Trails is R460 per vehicle with an additional deposit of R100, which is a safety precaution, for guests to report back to reception, so as to avoid anyone being left stranded in a remote area.

Trails can be booked to depart from the following Safari Camps
