Day 1 Blyde River Canyon
An early start as we leave the city of gold and make our way through the Mpumalanga province en-route to the Kruger National Park. As we enter through one of the Southern gates we begin our search for the many species of birds, mammals and reptiles that inhabit the Park. This Park is home to a wide diversity of animals including Africa's "Big Five" Our game drive takes us to our campsite, where we board an open safari vehicle and head out on an exciting night drive. Evening to be spent camping within Kruger. (D)
Day 2 Central Kruger, Northern Kruger
An early morning game drive takes us along some of the best game drive routes that Kruger has to offer. Sunrise at a waterhole offers scenes straight out of National Geographic. The entire day is spent game viewing, bird watching and stopping off at the various waterholes en route to our next camp. Evening to be spent relaxing around the campfire reminiscing about the day's events. (BLD)
Day 3
We take our final game drive in Kruger before heading up the Drakensberg Escarpment and spend the day visiting the scenic sights along the panoramic route. These sights include Gods Window, Bourkes Luck Potholes and the magnificent three rondawels at the Blyde River Canyon. From here we journey on to a Shangaan Tribal Village where a guided tour gives you an insight into the culture and traditions of the local Shangaan people. We enjoy an exciting evening of tribal dancing, singing and a traditional African dinner. Overnight in traditional huts. (BLD)
