Itinerary description
This is the first of a series of tracks from one of the wilderness routes Kruger Park offers. It was an amazing experience. https://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/tourism/activities/wilderness/about.php
I want to thank people working in the park, who helped me to get from Malelane gate to Ber-en-dal camp the first day and took me out of the part the last day.
Departure around 15:30 (meeting at 14:45, after having reported at the reception of the camp).
Nice drive.
Getting to Wolhuter camp, and learning the place.
Getting ready to next day's walks.
Good dinner, and basic instructions afterwards. Some very important: how to walk, not to talk during the hikes (we must be aware of the sounds, and it's better that animals don't hear us much in advance to prevent they flee or in case they want to fight ;) ), directions in case of facing a danger, etc.
Good night!

Wolhuter Camp Huts for 2 people each (max 8 people + rangers + cook). Good facilities, better than expected. Toilets, and warm water. The very best, the waterhole beside the camp, where buffalo, rhino and warthog tend to show up.
