Overlooking the Kruger Park

Day 1          Johannesburg - Blyde River Canyon  

Depart Johannesburg 06h30 and travel east towards Belfast.  Stop in Dullstroom for a special 1hr Raptor show where we learn more about eagles, hawks and other birds of prey and are able to see these wonderful birds up close and personal.  The next stop is the town of Sabie where we visit some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the area.  Pilgrims Rest is a national monument town where we will have a picnic lunch and spend some time in walking through this window onto the past.  Gods Window, Bourkes Luck potholes and then the spectacular Blyde River canyon complete the days activities before we overnight (camp), close to Blyde River.

Day 2          Blyde River Canyon - Kruger National Park
