The road passes through the battlefields of the Boer War where the Boer commando volunteers tried to repel the British. You can visit the Three Rondavels on Mpumalanga's Panorama Route and enjoy a spectacular view over the Blyde River Canyon. From there you will see one of the natural wonders of Africa, fantastic geological formations created by water.

This is the visiting card of the Republic of South Africa, one of the most famous parks in the world. In its vast expanses of the African bush, among thickets of acacias and dense shrubbery, live almost all representatives of the diverse African fauna. The guide will lead you to your accommodation at the lodge. In the afternoon you will depart in a specially equipped car for a safari in the African bush in search of Big African Five (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard). Do not forget to get your cameras ready! A well-trained professional huntsman will do everything possible to help you find the animals and come as close as possible to them.
The day begins with a morning safari. You will rise very early and in a vehicle with a professional huntsman you will go to the forest and look for animals. Upon returning to the lodge you can enjoy a gourmet breakfast and have a rest. In addition, you can also go on a walking safari, which will give you an adrenaline shot. Experienced rangers armed with shotguns will protect you, so you have nothing to worry about. The pleasure you get from such walks cannot be compared with anything!
