It is also known as habitat for the three endangered cranes, a vast variety of wild flowers and rare species of mammals – a true paradise for the nature lover. Travel via the spectacular Long Tom Pass which derived its name from the Long Tom cannons used during the Anglo-Boer war. The original Long Tom Pass was a treacherous one, steep gradients hairpin bends and hair raising drops. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the Sabie valley, more than a 1 000 metres below.

Day 03:KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

The Kruger National Park stretches north to south for about 350 kilometers, and is bordered by Mozambique to the east and Zimbabwe to the north. Its two million hectares of territory teem with life, including 147 mammal, 507 bird, 114 reptile, 34 amphibian, 336 tree and 49 fish species. You will have great opportunities to see the Big 5 animals of Africa, being the lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo, as well as a great deal of antelope and other African wildlife. Jakob Louis van Wyk introduced in the Volksraad of the old South African Republic, a motion to create the game reserve which would become the Kruger National Park. That motion, introduced together with another Volksraad member by the name of R. K. Loveday, and accepted for discussion in September of 1895 by a majority of one vote, resulted in the proclamation by Paul Kruger president of the Transvaal Republic, on March 26, 1898, of a “Government Wildlife Park.” This park would later be known as the Sabi Game Reserve and was expanded into the Kruger National Park in 1926. The park was initially created to control hunting and protect the diminished number of animals in the park.

Enjoy a Full Day Game Drive on an open 4 x 4 vehicle in the Kruger National Park including lunch. Expert guides should increase your chances of seeing all members of the “Big Five” plus other magnificent wild species. Return to your hotel. Enjoy dinner and overnight.

Day 04: PANORAMA ROUTE

Enjoy leisurely breakfast before exploring the Panorama Route. Visit Blyde River Canyon, the largest Green Canyon in the world and the third largest overall. View the Three Rondawels, huge cylinders of rock with hut-like pointy 'roofs', rising out of the far wall of the canyon. Continue to Bourke’s Luck Potholes where you throw a coin and make a wish at this magnificent water sculptured sandstone. Minor imperfections in the dolomite rock have been worn away by the swirling water with its load of grit and pebbles, causing “potholes” to appear. Thomas Bourke, an early owner of the farm on which this feature is situated, discovered gold at the bottom of the holes. Visit God’s Window for panoramic views. Enjoy lunch at the Royal Country Hotel (included). Travel to Pilgrims’ Rest, the oldest mining town in South Africa, now a declared national monument.

Here you would also be served a full traditional lunch with the family – an intimate and unforgettable experience. The menu includes honey-glazed sweet potatoes, freshly baked maize bread, chicken stew, and other traditional dishes.
