Indawo Wilderness Trail Camp

Indawo Wilderness Trail Camp is located in the Balule Nature Reserve, which is home to Africa’s Big 5. The reserve also boasts a wide variety of fauna and flora, interesting topography and beautiful vistas. The Balule Nature Reserve forms part of the nearly 3.5 million-hectare greater Kruger National Park, which one of Africa’s few remaining natural ecologies.

Indawo focuses on providing a quality wilderness experience through the provision of informative and authentic walking and camping safaris. Trails commence from the Indawo Base Camp in the Balule Nature Reserve south of the Olifants River.

Indawo Wilderness Trails provides the platform from which to explore some 3500 acres on foot. Guests are required to provide, carry and prepare their own food, tent and sleeping bag for the duration of the three nights. A maximum of eight and minimum of four guests are guided by an armed and experienced trail ranger and tracker across diverse habitats. Temporary camps are erected and broken daily at no specific location and therefore bathing is limited to the amount of water one can carry or the good humour of the trail guide to visit a safe pool in a river.

Our two trail rangers, with some 40 years combined experience, will not only share their knowledge with you but also encourage you to participate during the trail. Activities include guided day trails, sleep outs under the African stars, game drives and specialist photographic and birding excursions.
