What is a Tented Trail?
Discover a unique 3-night walking safari experience with Tented Trails. This adventure unfolds with daily walks through the Greater Kruger National Park, and nights are spent at a mobile campsite amidst scenic surroundings. Accommodating a maximum of 8 guests across 4 tents, this unforgettable walking journey includes chef-prepared breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
Combining walking and game drives, mornings lead to a walk to the next camp, while afternoons offer the choice between another walk or a game drive. Guided by experienced Wilderness Trails Guides, the 4-day tented trail ventures through a Big 5 game reserve, where each day concludes at a new camp. The camps feature 4 tents with twin beds and an ”ensuite bathroom” comprising an outdoor bucket shower and toilet.
Start your early mornings with coffee and a light breakfast, then pack your bags and set off for the next camp. Upon arrival, brunch is served, showers are ready, and your bags await in your new tent. Choose between an afternoon walk or a game drive with sundowners. Evenings are filled with campfire stories as the chef prepares dinner. Enjoy a delightful candlelit dinner and have a peaceful night’s sleep, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the bush.
