Elefantes Gorge Backpacking and Fishing Trail

• 4 night 5 day trail with a minimum of 8 and maximum of 8 guests.
• Departures arranged on request

Camp wild for four nights and traverse the plateau above the Rio Elefantes gorge on foot, descending to the shores of Massingir dam to fish for Tiger amongst others – the epitome of freedom in an amazing wilderness area.

Trails are led by an experienced guide but you are required to be totally self-sufficient. The terrain is rugged and requires a good level of fitness for the 15 to 20 km hiked each day.
