Today we will spend the whole day in Kruger Park. We head out and start to explore at sunrise, we will take you to areas with high levels of animal activity and we hope to show you something magical. All the Big 5 lions, leopards, elephants, rhino, and buffalo are found in Kruger, which has more species of large mammals than any other African park.

We will take you to a picnic site where we will serve breakfast with a view, after that we will slowly return to camp for some time to relax and enjoy the camp facilities. We will then serve lunch at camp and then head out for an exciting afternoon drive.

We will continue our search for Kruger wildlife and return to camp at sunset. Tonight we will be cooking everything on an open fire and you will enjoy dinner outside under the stars in our bush restaurant. After dinner, you depart on a Kruger night drive.

Day 3

Kruger National Park and the Panorama Route

Kruger National Park and the Panorama Route

After breakfast, we pack up and head towards the exit gates of Kruger. We first travel along the Drakensberg escarpment before we start to ascend it. Our first stop for the day will be at one of the viewpoints overlooking the Lowveld from the Highveld at the Blyde River Canyon. There we will have a bird’s eye view of the Lowveld we’ve been exploring for the past few days before we head to a very old mining town called “Pilgrims Rest”.

Pilgrims Rest has been listed as a World Heritage Site because of the town`s cultural importance and the town seems to be frozen in time. From here we head towards Graskop, a small town where we will have our own expense lunch. After lunch, we will head over to God’s Window a view so beautiful that it is believed to be God's window to see the earth. We get a true glimpse of how earth appears from the clouds and the view is simply breathtaking!

Tonight we will be sleeping in a resort at the Blyde River Canyon and enjoy the facilities they have to offer.
