BIG 5 GUIDED DAY WALKS
STEP INTO THE WILD ON FOOT
Our Big Five Guided Day Walks offer the most intimate way to explore the African wilderness — on foot. Led by experienced, highly trained Trails Guides, these walks bring you into the heart of the bush where every track, scent, sound and detail tells a story.
Guests learn to identify signs of the wild, from fresh spoor to the behaviour of the animals around you. Safety is always prioritised, with small group sizes ensuring a personalised, respectful and low-impact experience.
Ideal for adventurers seeking a deeper, slower and more meaningful connection with nature.
PRIVATE GUIDED BIG 5 OVERNIGHT BACKPACKING WILDERNESS TRAILS
A TRUE WILDERNESS EXPEDITION
For seasoned explorers, our exclusive Overnight Backpacking Wilderness Trails offer an unmatched back-to-basics safari experience. These private, multi-day expeditions take you deep into wilderness zones where no roads, fences or infrastructure exist.
Guided exclusively by elite Trails Guides, each day is spent tracking wildlife on foot, exploring remote terrain, and discovering the incredible natural rhythms of the Kruger ecosystem. In the evenings, you’ll sleep under the stars at unfenced wilderness camps, surrounded by the sounds of Africa’s night.
This is the ultimate wilderness immersion - raw, real and unforgettable.
