Kruger National Park (eastern boundary) · Mpumalanga 4x4 eco trail
.jpg){kind=link}
A guided, self-catering overland trail along the Kruger's eastern boundary on the Lebombo hills, from Crocodile Bridge in the south to Pafuri in the north. SANParks says it is not strictly a 4x4 challenge, but steep inclines and muddy patches need four-wheel drive. Groups are limited to five vehicles plus the ranger's vehicle, with up to four people each, and nobody under 12 or over 65 may join. It runs in the dry season, from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October.
Along the way
Before you drive it
- Check with the operator for closures after rain. Conditions change faster than any website.
- Tell someone your route and your expected time out.
- Carry recovery gear you know how to use, and rated recovery points on the vehicle. See our recovery gear spec comparison.
