The Spectacular Panorama Route and Blyde River Canyon
After breakfast, you are collected for a full-day tour of the Panorama Route. The Panorama Route and the Blyde River Canyon is arguably one of the most beautiful and popular travel destinations in South Africa. Here, the northeastern part of the Great Escarpment, the inland plateau declines abruptly and steeply and opens up fantastic views of the plains of the Lowveld up to a thousand metres below. Not only does the Panorama Route offer the most remarkable vistas over the Lowveld, it is also home to phenomenal geographical features such as waterfalls, canyons, gorges, and river eroded potholes and much more. Coming from each direction, the Panorama Route converges into the 3rd largest canyon in the world - the Blyde River Canyon. Attractions that will be visited are the viewpoint over the Blyde River Canyon at the Three Rondavels, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and God’s Window. A light lunch is included today.
Dinner is enjoyed this evening in the restaurant at Pestana Kruger Lodge.

Early Morning Big 5 Game Drive and Return to Cape Town - Flight Included
An early wake-up call signals the start of another exciting day in Big Five territory. You are collected by your Kruger Park safari guide in front of the reception area at Pestana Kruger Lodge for your early morning safari and head out into the African bush on an open safari vehicle. Your knowledgeable guide will interpret the bush and give you a detailed explanation of the animal's behaviour. Our hope is to catch sight of some big cats early in the morning, as this is the optimal time to observe them before they withdraw to the shade for the remainder of the day. This is the last time to spot the big cats and other wildlife, like elephants, giraffes, hippos, cape buffalo, Crocodiles, different antelope species and many, many bird species. After breakfast, you are collected at Pestana Kruger Lodge and are transferred back to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport in Nelspruit in time for your return flight to Cape Town.
