KZN Wildlife iMfolozi Wilderness Primitive Trail

This primitive wilderness trail is aimed at outdoors enthusiasts who want to combine a wilderness experience with backpacking and sleeping out under the stars. This trail can accommodate a maximum of eight hikers and is fully catered. Water is collected from springs or rivers in the wilderness area, and bathing is done in the river wherever possible. Hikers are required to assist with food preparation and camp setup. There are no ablutions and showers on this trail. After booking in at Mpila Resort by 09:00 on the day of departure, hikers are met by the Wilderness Trails staff, who will advise them on how best to pack their backpacks. After a late breakfast and a briefing, hikers set off into the Wilderness area, where they will spend four nights and four full days, accompanied by a Trails Officer and a Field Guide. The trail ends at Mdindini Base Camp at 10:00 on the last day. All four nights are spent in the bush, camping wherever the Trails Officer finds a suitable spot. Small camps are set up at night, with hikers sleeping under the stars around a small fire after enjoying a meal. A lightweight rain shelter is provided in case of bad weather.
