Kruger Big Five Expert Trail

The Kruger Big Five Expert Trail is one of the most exclusive MTB experiences in Africa — a full-day 35km guided ride through the deeper wilderness terrain of Kruger National Park with SANParks-trained rangers. The advanced distance, deeper wilderness access and longer exposure to the African bush create an experience of extraordinary wildlife and natural quality available nowhere else.

What to Expect

Gravel game roads and bush tracks on moderately demanding terrain over 35km. The full day in the bush — with picnic stops at scenic sites and sustained wildlife exposure — makes this a genuinely immersive wilderness experience. Expert fitness is required for the distance and the ability to remain composed during wildlife encounters is essential.

Pre-booking

The expert trail requires advance booking through SANParks and is subject to ranger availability. Book as early as possible — these guided rides are in high demand.
