Baobab on Nyalaland Trail<\/p><\/div>\n

Staying in a rustic, primitive camp and experiencing the African bush on foot, is much closer to the ultimate wilderness experience than anything else.<\/p>\n

This is what the Wilderness Trails inside Kruger National Park<\/a> offer. Adventurous visitors are allowed a close, personal encounter with nature by traversing large areas of unspoiled wilderness on foot.<\/p>\n

Guests spend three nights in a Wilderness Camp in the Park, under the guidance of armed and experienced trail rangers. Although the trails are conducted in Big Five wildlife areas, the main aim of these trails is to have a wilderness experience.<\/p>\n

The Trails cannot compete with other expensive luxury destinations as far as guaranteed game viewing and service is concerned, but you’ll encounter vast open spaces and a special kind of atmosphere that very few other destinations can match. You’ll experience wildness, remoteness, tranquillity, peace and a big bonus: no other people!<\/p>\n

The ideal activity to become rejuvenated and recharged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
