Are you ready to swap the city streets for the untamed beauty of the Kruger National Park? If you’re a nature-loving mountain biker with a thirst for adventure, the Mafunyane Mountain Bike Trail is calling your name!
This four-day MTB safari takes you deep into Big 5 country, where the only traffic you’ll encounter is a herd of elephants crossing the trail. It’s not just a ride—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime wilderness experience.
Pedal through the wild
From 24-27 May 2025, you and five fellow thrill-seekers will cover between 50 and 60km per day. The route is a mix of service roads, rugged jeep tracks and even elephant trails—because who needs a predictable ride? Each turn offers breathtaking scenery, unexpected wildlife sightings, and the occasional heart-racing moment when you realise you’re not the only one on the trail!
With experienced rangers leading the way, you’ll safely explore the raw beauty of Kruger, learning about the bush while testing your endurance. And don’t worry—there’s a backup vehicle if your legs decide they need a break.
Luxury in the bush
After a full day in the saddle, you’ll return to the Boulders Bush Lodge, an exclusive and comfortable retreat tucked away in the park. Expect warm showers, delicious meals and a well-earned rest under the African sky.
Forget about cooking—SANParks Honorary Rangers will take care of all your meals. That means more time for swapping stories around the fire and less time worrying about what’s for dinner. Not only do you get a delicious dinner you also get:
- All meals (cooked by SANParks Honorary Rangers)
- Water & non-alcoholic drinks
- Shared accommodation at Boulders Bush Lodge
- Backup vehicle (because punctures are part of the fun)
- Return transfer to Phalaborwa Gate in an open safari vehicle with a bike trailer
This is not your average MTB race—it’s an adventure where nature sets the pace. Space is limited, so don’t miss out!
