KZN Wildlife iMfolozi Wilderness Base Camp Trail

Weekend Short Wilderness trails are run from 14 February to 10 December and depart on Fridays and Sundays. They are two nights and three days in duration. This trail is fully catered, and all food is transported into the wilderness trails camp on donkeys. Still, hikers are expected to carry a daypack containing 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 must book in at Mpila Resort by 11:00, as the trail begins at noon on the first day. Hikers will be met by the trail staff and given a trail briefing. After their bags have been packed, hikers will walk to the wilderness camp, where they will spend the following two nights. These camps offer dome tents with two mattresses in each. The camp has no ablution facilities apart from the traditional shower bucket of warm water hung in a tree. A spade, toilet paper and matches serve as a toilet. Hikers will return to Mndindini Base Camp on the third day, carrying only their personal effects and snacks. The trail ends at 10:30.
