Lebombo 4x4 Eco-trail | Ultimate Kruger Park 4x4 trail

Want to camp unfenced in the bush at Kruger Park? Looking for a 4x4 track in Kruger National Park? Or, are you a wilderness lover who wants to be submerged in the outback of Kruger Park for 5 days without dealing with the queues of cars? Then the Lebombo 4x4 Eco-Trail is your ultimate next journey! It's considered the best 4x4 eco-trail in Southern Africa. The trail consists of a total of 500km covered in 5 days of driving (we drove 630km in total - it depends on your guide), whereby you drive mainly on 'no entry' roads. You are accompanied by an experienced senior ranger, who will share plenty of his knowledge about animals, birds, plants, ecosystems and history of the Kruger National Park. The trail starts at Crocodile Bridge (Krokodillenburg) in the South of Kruger. After 5 days, you will finish up North at Crooks' Corner in Pafuri. The Lebombo 4x4 trail is absolutely the best trail in the Kruger National Park! You can book a ticket via SANparks website. Often it's fully booked 1 year in advance..In this blog, we share our experiences of the Lebombo trail, including tips and tricks for those planning to drive the trail.
