KZN Wildlife iMfolozi Wilderness Extended Short Trail

Extended Short Weekend trails are run from about 14 February to about 10 December and start on Tuesdays. They are three nights and four days in duration. This trail is fully catered, and all food will be transported into the wilderness trails camp on donkeys, but hikers will be expected to carry a daypack with their personal effects, water and lunch. Personal items will, however, be transported back from the wilderness on the donkeys at the end of the trail. Hikers are required to book in at Mpila Resort by 11:00 as the trail starts at noon on the first day. At Mpila, hikers will be met by the trail staff and given a trail briefing. After their bags have been packed, hikers will walk approximately seven kilometres to the wilderness camp, where they will spend the following three nights in dome tents with two mattresses per tent. Apart from a traditional bucket shower, the camp has no ablution facilities. A spade, toilet paper and matches serve as a toilet. Hikers will return to the Mndindini Base Camp on the fourth day, carrying only their effects and snacks. The trail ends at about 10:30.
