When was the last time you truly felt part of nature, untethered from the modern world, listening only to the whispers of the wind and the calls of distant wildlife? Tchagra Trails Wilderness Consulting invites you to rediscover that primal connection with the wilderness on an extraordinary multi-day wilderness walking safari in the heart of the Greater Kruger.
The Ultimate Guided Walking Safari in Greater Kruger ecosystem
Set within the vast beauty of the Greater Kruger, this guided walking safari is not your average game-viewing experience. Led by Noelle van Muiden, (SKS DG Wilderness Guide) one of Africa’s most respected and experienced walking safari guides, this primitive trail strips away the distractions of modern life and immerses you fully in the wilderness. With over 20 years of experience, Noelle brings an unmatched level of expertise, ensuring that every step you take is filled with meaning, insight, and a deep respect for the natural world.
What Makes This Wilderness Walking Safari Unique?
Unlike traditional safaris that rely on vehicles, this multi-day walking experience follows ancient game trails, allowing you to move through the landscape as the animals do. The Game Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem, is home to the Big 5, along with cheetah, wild dog, hippo, giraffe, and a breathtaking variety of birdlife. The trails weave through diverse landscapes - seasonal riverbeds, rocky outcrops, and untouched bushveld - offering an unparalleled opportunity to track wildlife, read nature’s signs, and embrace the rhythms of the wild.
