Kruger On Foot - 4 Days
(Walking Safaris)

Travel from the nearest Kruger airport to your selected Kruger walking trails camp: 

- Guests who select either the Central or Southern Kruger walking trails option you will be met and transferred by road from the nearest Kruger airport to your selected Kruger walking trails camp.
- Guests who select the Northern Kruger walking trail option you will collect a vehicle at Hoedspruit Airport and drive to the trails camp - the driving time is approximately 5 hours so it is suggested you extend your stay by a few days and visit some of Kruger's northern camps such as Shingwedzi or Punda Maria.

For the next 3 nights you stay at a well-appointed 'glamping' trails camp (or safari lodge - Africa on Foot) in the heart of the African bush. From your trails camp you will partake in a number of exhilarating bush activities - guided morning walks from camp and guided afternoon / evening game drives, with the opportunity of short guided walks. These activities provide different ways to experience the bush and its wildlife - on game drives it is all about looking for the larger animals, including the 'Big 5' and seeing the changing landscapes, whilst on a guided walk it is about learning about the smaller things, often missed while on a drive, taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the bush and possibly even tasting wild fruits. With a morning walk and shorter late afternoon walk combined with a game drive, there is plenty of opportunities to get the most out of this incredible, immersive bush experience.

Note: Both the Africa on Foot (Central) and Rhino Post Plains Camp (Southern) offer the opportunity of a 'treehouse sleep-out' (Contact us for details - additional charges may apply) on a game viewing platform in the bush which provide an un-rivalled wilderness experience.

On your last day you will travel back to the nearest Kruger Airport for your onward journey.

Pafuri, the northernmost section Kruger National Park, is unrivalled walking safari country providing opportunities to focus on the little things, whilst also experiencing the rush of adrenaline when encountering the Big Five. The Pafuri Trails Camp, located on the banks of Luvuvhu River in the Makuleke Concession, is all about getting you up close and personal to your surroundings and although the facilities are simple, expect comfortable sofas shaded by enormous tree branches, an open-air fire pit and a dinner table under canvas.

Traditional safari tents are simple yet comfortable and provide soft and cosy beds, with blankets to ward off the chilly winter nights, large, mesh windows and ensuite bathrooms with bucket showers. With no electricity in camp the tents are lit with kerosene lanterns and their hiss and sparkle add to the rustic atmosphere. Meals are hearty, the bar is well-stocked and it’s the perfect place to return to at the end of a long day of exploring. 

Located in the heart of the Kalserie Private Game Reserve Africa on Foot's main area houses a comfortable lounge area constructed around an old tree trunk and equipped with relaxing sofas, a library and large dining table where, as per safari tradition, everyone dines together to share stories of the day's sightings. An outside boma area and campfire are perfect for those chilly winter evenings whilst two swimming pools allow you to cool off in the summer months.

Africa on Foot's comfortable chalets offer an authentic experience with all rooms being of the same standard with ensuite bathrooms, mosquito nets, a clothing rack, bedside tables, solar powered lamps, and bathroom toiletries. Solar-powered electricity keep things natural and eco-friendly and all water is gas-heated. After a day's exploring on foot or vehicle guests can enjoy hearty, traditional South African meals including the obligatory 'braai' (barbecue) cooked over the open fire.

A treehouse sleep-out deck, located a few hundred metres from camp, provides an opportunity to sleep-out under a million stars. This wooden game-viewing platform, with top-deck bed, reaches up into the trees and gives a view to be remembered - perfect in the summer months!

Plains Camp offers a luxury wilderness experience blending eco-conscious accommodation practices with all the amenities and features you’d expect from a premier safari lodge. Located on the Mutlumuvi concession in the world-renowned Kruger National Park this small trails camp is nestled perfectly in the shade of a Knobthorn cluster over-looking the Timbitene Plain that stretches out in front of the camp. Four stylishly appointed en-suite explorer-style tents surround the central lodge area which includes an open plan dining and lounge area, central firepit on a large communal wooden deck and plunge pool to cool off in the summer months. During a stay at Plains Camp you will experience the excitement of walks and game drives in ‘Big 5' territory and then return to a comfortable, inviting bed for the night.
