Marakele 4x4 Eco-trail is another option.

Hi all
Im looking for a 2 or 3 day trail to take my 80yr old family member on, we travelled extensively in Southern Africa together many years ago and he would love to do one last little getaway
Mabua was always our favourite but his passport expires in 7th November this year so that is out as it will only be valid for 5 months at most when we go
Thought of Lebombo in Kruger(we did together probably 18yrs ago) but no over 65 allowed
Looking at the Mafunyane 4x4 from Phalaborwa to Punda but waiting to hear if the age limit applies as well to this trail
Anybody got any other suggestions, would need to be booked on pretty short notice, within next couple weeks
Thanks

Thanks, see you did it in a Jimny
That's what we would be using but I still have standard suspension ?
Rust de winter?
But you must book/go in a group...

The 65year age limit for SANParks is not a problem if you have a doctors letter certifying that one is fit to travel
Nevermind the paper work. That can easily be fixedWith the elderly it is not the paperwork holding things back... Rules are there for a reason and have been born out of bad experiences
Been there, done that and never again want to go thru that experience... At 80+ even a simple fall can turn into a nightmare

I love Mozambique!
Kgalagadi NP.
Nossop to Bitterpan.
If you need music in the bush or on the beach, you’re missing the point.
Tankwa. It is visually fantastic, and good for the soul.
No people, no noise, no outside light.
You can camp at two different spots for a three day trip.
