Northern Plains 4 x 4 Adventure Trail - Kruger Park

Post by Obelix and Dogmatix »

and Hello again

There seems to be a eco trail called 'Northern Plains 4 x 4 Adventure Trail ' between Punda Maria and shingwedzi,

Has anyone done this trail?

and is it worth it?

and any idea of costs as trying to find info is like finding the chicken with teeth.

Thanks

PS - if info is forthcoming re the trail I might just have to do a nice trip report!!

Hi Quentin (Nicolaas), Have no idea about this trail, but similar trails all run at close to R1 000.00 p/p/p/d. You vehicle and fuel are for your own account. These are GUIDED by SANPARKS Rangers, so the food and own accommodation is also for your own account (You must be self sufficient).You will probably only sleep one night in the bush if this is a 4x4 trail. Hiking will probably be 4 to 5 days.

I Don't know if Hennie will be able to assist you, but I think so.

I did the "Levuvu" (Spelling??????) trail with him two years back. Since then he started his own thing.
Here is the link to his Facebook.

It is a day trail around Shingwedzi!

You book at the camp, pay your fees including a deposit.

Upon your return they refund your deposit. If you do not return, they go and look for you!

Laat weet my tog ook maar hoe en waar jy die speletjie wil doen. As dit binne in die Wildtuin is, gaan ek nie saam nie. Sukkel met Oros drink vir 2 dae.

Oros is slegs vir dagbesoekers!

Die 4x4 Roetes kan ook net bespreek word as jy oornag!

Moet nie 'n "trail" verwag nie! Dit is baie basies!!
