I have not walked this one yet, but I believe that it remains true to its roots. The seven wilderness trails in the Kruger National Park are by now legendary since the Wolhuter Trail commenced in 1979 (in response to many questions I have written a short FAQ on Kruger’s wilderness trails ), and I try and walk them regularly, but they are notoriously difficult to book. The advent of private concessions in the Kruger Park has brought new wilderness trail experiences into being, admittedly of the more luxurious variety, but the walks themselves remain true to the wilderness ethos. Two highly recommended trails are Rhino Walking Safaris (which also features an exciting sleep-out in tree platforms) in Kruger and Machampane Wilderness Trail, in Mozambique’s Limpopo National Park, close to Kruger’s eastern border. By contrast, the Great Walk of Africa through Kenya’s Tsavo West and East National Parks is a completely unique wilderness walking experience, extending over 11 days on trail through really wild country. Our impressions of the Great Walk can be found here and here. [...] [...] The pioneering wilderness trail was Ian Player’s Imfolozi wilderness trail which operates under the auspices of KZN Wildlife.
