Kruger National Park - South Africa

A new four-day, three-night back packing trail has been launched in the Kruger National Park.

The trail, which follows the Olifants River, aims to showcase the natural splendour of the park, says Kruger National Park executive director Bandile Mkhize.

This section of the park has been the exclusive domain of park rangers and scientists until now.

Mkhize said the trail was the latest in a series of adventure tourism products like the Lebombo Eco Trail, the Mountain Bike Trail and the Adventure Trails for 4x4 vehicles that allowed visitors to see more of the park while limiting impacts on the environment.

The new trail, launched at the weekend, saw hikers meeting at Olifants Camp reception for a thorough briefing and equipment check before heading out to the train by open safari vehicle.
