About

Born in the bushveld

Mopane Trails Tours

Mopane Trails was started in 2010 by field guide Given Mathebula and wildlife vet Helen Crous. Given grew up near the Kruger boundary and started guiding at nineteen; Helen spent a decade working with rhino in the Lowveld.

Today we run guided safaris for families, couples and small groups from South Africa and around the world. We work with private reserves in the Greater Kruger and support a rhino monitoring project with part of every booking.

Animals first

We keep our distance, switch off the engine and never chase a sighting.

Share the benefit

Our guides, trackers and camp staff are hired and trained locally.

Honest itineraries

Real driving times and real prices, with no surprise add-ons at the lodge.
