The Lembombo Eco trail is an amazing 5 day self-drive 4x4 adventure. We will be covering a great part of the Kruger National Park in northern South Africa. The Overland trail follows the eastern boundary of the Kruger National Park along the Lembombo hills from the extreme South (Crocodile River) to the extreme North (Pafuri Gate). A ranger from the park, who leads the convoy in his own vehicle, accompanies each group. Road conditions vary from reasonably good to a few places with steep inclines and muddy patches. Only 4X4 vehicles and only genuine off-road trailers or caravans are allowed. Please note that the route may be closed completely after heavy rains and covers a distance of over 500 km. Only 5 vehicles are allowed on the trail at any time to ensure that the environment is not affected and to afford groups some exclusivity. Regular stops are made by the ranger to interpret aspects within the environment or to share special experiences. Usually, three camps are visited whilst driving up North to refuel, replenish food supplies and to allow tourists the opportunity to shower.

 

On this safari you will be camping and be catering for one self. The setting up and down of camp will be a participation safari system whereby everyone assists. The  general rules and regulations of the Kruger National Park also apply to trailists. Failure to co-operate with your trail ranger could lead to the immediate cancellation of the trail. For safety and ethical reasons excessive consumption of liquor is strongly discouraged.
