KZN Wildlife iMfolozi Wilderness Extended Explorer Trail

The Explorer Trail combines the best elements of trails using the Mdindini Base Camp and the more adventurous Primitive Trail. The first and last nights are spent in the comfort of Mdindini Camp with hot and cold showers and a fridge, while the second and third nights are spent under the stars in the famous iMfolozi Wilderness Area. After booking in at Mpila Resort, hikers will be met by the Trails Officer and his Field Guide assistant and directed to the Mndindini Base Camp, where they can settle in and meet their cook, who will prepare their food on the first and final nights. The Trails Officer and the Field Guide will prepare food on the second and third nights, although hikers are welcome to assist. It is recommended that visitors arrive at Mpila Resort reception by 13:00, as they need to be at Mdindindi by 14:00. Small camps are set up at night, with hikers sleeping under the stars around a small fire after enjoying a meal prepared by the Trails Officer and the Field Guide. A lightweight rain shelter is provided in case of bad weather. Explorer Trails are conducted from mid-February to the end of November and take a maximum of eight hikers.
