The Awakening (35km)
Your odyssey begins where the river whispers through towering poplars, but don't let this serene campsite fool you. The mountain has other plans. That first brutal climb on rocky jeep track?
It's your initiation—a gut-check that separates dreamers from doers. Push through pine-scented air and eucalyptus groves until you stand triumphant atop Iron Crown, Limpopo's highest peak.
As you descend through wild montane forests with streams singing beside you, you'll realize: this is just the beginning. The mountain has tested you. You've answered.
The Beautiful Beast (36km)
They call it brutal for a reason. Today's ascent will have you questioning everything—until you crest onto high plains where the world unfolds like an ancient map. Serala Peak awaits, along with the thundering majesty of Cleopatra's Falls.
Navigate technical descents into forested valleys where cliff walls echo with waterfall symphonies. Your reward? Serala Camp, perched on a ridge where 270-degree views steal your breath and sunset paints the mountains in liquid gold.
This is suffering wrapped in beauty—and you'll love every agonizing, awe-inspiring moment.

The Traverse (35km)
Today you become a mountain wanderer, traversing the entire Wolkberg Nature Reserve on ancient jeep tracks. The route rolls like ocean swells—constant ups and downs that test your rhythm and resolve.
Keep your eyes sharp for zebra silhouettes against grassland ridges and antelope darting through valleys. That final climb to camp three? It's where exhaustion meets exhilaration. Summit that last ridge and witness infinity—endless hills and golden plains stretching toward tomorrow. Welcome to Lekgalameetse, where wild Africa embraces you.
Ridge Runner's Paradise (41km)
Relief comes disguised as beauty today. Run the knife-edge ridges where mountains plunge dramatically into the Lowveld below. On clear days, your eyes can travel 25 kilometers across this ancient landscape.
Proteas bloom like exotic crowns while zebra and antelope share your trail. The elevation eases up—a gift to weary legs—culminating in a glorious descent through a magnificent gorge. Tonight's streamside camp offers respite, but more importantly, perspective. You're no longer just running through Africa; you're part of it.
Into the Wild (35km)
Today, everything changes. Leave the mountain sanctuary behind as you descend into the untamed Lowveld bush. Agricultural corridors give way to acacia thorns and baobab giants. Then comes the moment that stops hearts: crossing into Big 5 territory.
Though safely monitored on fenced routes, the thrill is real when elephants trumpet nearby or giraffes peer curiously at your passing. At Makalali's gates, you'll join small pelotons following game vehicles (untimed for safety). Tonight's camp? An airstrip under infinite stars, with trained guards ensuring safety while lion calls punctuate the darkness. Sleep comes fitfully when adventure surrounds you.
Out of the Wild (52km)
The longest day demands the strongest spirit. Begin with magical game drives through Makalali (in guided pelotons), where wildlife sightings are virtually guaranteed.
Then transition from thorny bushveld to lush agricultural abundance—orchards heavy with fruit, verdant fields stretching endlessly. Cross the mighty Blyde River on a swaying suspension bridge, each step a meditation on how far you've come.
Your destination: a campsite blessed by an ancient baobab that's watched over this land for 2,500 years. Rest in its wisdom. Tomorrow, glory awaits.

The Triumph (21km)
The final dawn brings fellow runners to share your glory march. Through bush and alongside rivers, past orchards and plantations, every kilometer carries you closer to legend. Hoedspruit awaits with crowds, cowbells, and cold drinks.
That finish line appears suddenly—a portal between who you were and who you've become. As the medal touches your chest, as loved ones embrace your sweat-soaked triumph, one truth resonates: You didn't just finish the Africa Wild Ultra.
You conquered your limitations, befriended your demons, and discovered that 'impossible' is just another word for 'not yet.'
