A Suzuki Jimny on a Camping Expedition

Embark on an exhilarating journey with Girl in the Wilderness, a female-owned travel and expedition company that celebrates the spirit of adventure in every woman. Our signature 9-night Southern Kruger Expedition is designed for the bold and the brave, for women who seek the thrill of exploration and the joy of sisterhood under the vast African sky. Led by the dynamic duo Antje Mouton and Janelle Goodrich, this expedition promises an unforgettable adventure, where you drive yourself in a fully equipped Generation 4 Jimny, embracing the wild and untamed beauty of the Southern Kruger.


Driving into Adventure: Empowerment on Four Wheels

Imagine gripping the steering wheel of your very own Generation 4 Jimny, feeling the power and freedom as you navigate the rugged terrains of the Kruger National Park. This expedition is not just about witnessing the majestic wildlife; it's about becoming one with the wilderness. The empowerment of driving your 4x4, equipped with all the camping essentials, including a fridge, tent, and mattresses, is unparalleled. It's about proving to yourself, and the world, that adventure has no gender.


Wild Camping Under the Stars: Lower Sabie and Pretoriuskop

Our journey begins with six nights of camping, immersing ourselves in the raw beauty of Lower Sabie and Pretoriuskop. Lower Sabie, with its rich biodiversity and stunning riverine landscape, offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness the Big Five in their natural habitat. The roars of lions at night, the graceful stride of leopards, and the serene presence of elephants become part of your daily experience.

Transitioning to Pretoriuskop, we find ourselves surrounded by rugged hills and a rich historical tapestry. This area, known for its unique geological formations, also offers a chance to see rare species such as the sable antelope. Each campsite brings its own set of wonders, with communal fireside evenings where stories and experiences are shared among like-minded women.


Luxurious Tranquility: Skukuza Rest Camp

After the raw thrill of camping, we transition to the serene luxury of chalets at Skukuza Rest Camp for the final three nights. Skukuza, the heart of Kruger, offers a different kind of wilderness experience. Here, the blend of comfort and nature provides a tranquil space to reflect on the adventures past and the friendships forged. The rest camp, with its rich wildlife, historical sites, and stunning river views, offers a peaceful retreat while still keeping the spirit of adventure alive.


The Wildlife of Southern Kruger: A Photographer's Paradise

Southern Kruger is a treasure trove for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Each area we visit offers unique opportunities to witness and capture the diverse wildlife of the region. From the majestic lions of Lower Sabie to the elusive leopards and the herds of elephants that roam freely, every moment is a chance to witness the circle of life in its most unfiltered form. The expedition is not just a journey through the wilderness but a journey into the heart of nature itself.


Building a Community of Adventurous Women

What sets Girl in the Wilderness expeditions apart is the sense of community and sisterhood that is built over the course of the journey. It's about connecting with women who share a love for wildlife, photography, and adventure. It's about the laughter that fills the air as stories are shared around the campfire, the shared moments of awe as the sun rises over the African savannah, and the collective gasp as a herd of elephants crosses the path just ahead.


More Than an Expedition, A Life-Changing Experience

The 9-night Southern Kruger Expedition with Girl in the Wilderness is more than just a trip; it's a transformative experience. It's about discovering the strength and courage within, forging lasting friendships, and creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
