As is customary when on safari, we rise early this morning to enjoy a guided bush walk. Being in the bush on foot offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the smaller details of this great wilderness area. After our walk, we exit the park and journey along the scenic Panorama Route where we will visit God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and the Three Rondavels.
These highlights are all part of the World Heritage Blyde River Canyon- the third largest canyon in the world! As you follow the winding path, you have to stop and stare in wonder at the astonishing panoramic views below, as the sheer edges of the cliff drop down 800m into the river below.
We return to camp in the evening to enjoy a lovely local dinner and dance.

Special dietary requirements can be catered for, but only by special request. In East Africa it is more difficult to cater to certain requirements.
