Leaving behind Johannesburg, the city of gold, we head through the province of Mpumalanga to the world famous Kruger National Park. The next two days are spent exploring the southern part of this vast reserve and we stand a good chance of sighting elephant, lion, black rhino, leopard and buffalo, Africa's famed "Big Five", on our game drives in the truck.

Our game drives continue and an early start usually rewards us with some great sightings. Keep your eyes open for the diverse bird life and some of the more elusive animals. An optional night drive with one of the South African National Park rangers is an excellent way to see some of the nocturnal animals.

After a morning game drive in the truck or an optional game walk, we leave the Kruger NP and head for Timbavati. In the afternoon we visit a Shangaan village, and then make our way to a wildlife concession area adjacent to the KNP. This evening we experience an evening game drive. Tonight's game drive allows us another opportunity to view the mysterious nocturnal creatures that inhabit the African bushveld.

We complete our Kruger Park experience with an early morning game walk, before heading back towards Johannesburg. We will be travelling the Panorama Route through some spectacular scenery. Blyde River Canyon, the 3rd largest canyon in the world, offers breathtaking view points, including God's Window and Three Rondavels. The Bourke's Luck Potholes are the fascinating results of erosion caused by the River. Tour ends on arrival in Johannesburg.
