After the adventures in the bush, you really should stick around because there’s so much more to do.
Discover South Africa’s most famous wildlife park: Kruger National Park. While Greater Kruger is a collection of private game reserves and thus fenced in, Kruger National Park allows free movement of all kinds of wildlife. This means a huge variety of animals. Kruger National Park is the oldest park in Africa and one of the largest game reserves in the world! A must-see for nature lovers with the sheer number of birds and of course, the Big 5 that wander through the park. While this park isn’t exactly off the beaten track, it’s absolutely worth visiting. Apart from its variety of wildlife, it’s also the oldest park in Africa.
Let’s throw in another iconic highlight, as the Panorama Route is definitely a must. You’ve probably guessed it: panoramas are the reason you drive this route. It’s located near Kruger National Park. Without stopping, it takes about 2 hours from Graskop, where the route begins, to the final highlight: Blyde River Canyon. However, you can make amazing stops every 10 km, so be sure to set aside a day for the Panorama Route. Hit the brakes as you approach God's Window. Quickly fix your hair, casually throw your arms up, and snap a picture for the 'Gram. With these kinds of photos on your feed, not only will everyone back home be envious, but you might even become a famous travel blogger!
Our favourite, though, has to be Blyde River Canyon and Three Rondavels—what a view! You look to the right at three massive hills, each over 700 meters high, and to the left, a deep river surrounded by towering mountains. With nearly 100 km of amazing stops, you can truly enjoy a full day here.
