Day 4
Crocodile River Camp
Today you walk to the next camp along ancient hippo and elephant routes in the bush. Walks are timed for the early morning and later afternoon to avoid the main heat of the day. The walking is not strenuous as there are no hills, but paths can be uneven in places so comfy lightweight walking shoes are recommended. The afternoon walk is planned to arrive in camp before dusk, giving you time to shower, change, relax, enjoy a sundowner drink and look forward to dinner.
