We set off to the borders to Kruger National Park. On our journey we enjoy the mountains of Mpumalanga which make up the Panorama route. We also see Blyde River Canyon, Gods Window, Three Randowvales and the Potluck. We arrive late afternoon at our camp in the small town of Hazyview, at the doorstep of Kruger National Park.

Early morning, board 4×4 vehicles for an amazing wildlife viewing that Kruger National Park is famous for. One of Africa’s largest wildlife reserves, it offers a vast array of animals, birds and reptiles. Lion, cheetah, rhino, elephant, zebra, hippo leopard and more. With 600 bird species or more, and so much natural wilderness to explore—this is more than just a park. We spend all the in park getting the best of Kruger.
Day 4
We make our way back into Kruger National Park this morning searching a new area of the park today in search of the wildlife. We do the drive today in our big truck giving us some height advantage. Our Kruger National Park list should be done and dusted after this day..Repetition has power.

Travelling along the edge of Kruger National Park and make our way to the Kingdom of Swaziland. Swaziland is found inside the country of South Africa. It has a unique culture and heritage to learn more about. We drive through the market place before going to the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, which is Swaziland’s oldest protected area. It is located in the royal area of Ezulwini Valley, ‘Valley of Heavens’.

Today we make our way through the history and culture of the Kingdom of Swaziland with a local Swazi guide in a traditional village. Optional activities on offer include a nature walk, exploring on horseback, taking a bike out into the grasslands, or chillaxing and watching the wildlife and birds as they visit the hippo pool.
