Location: Kruger National Park
Accommodation: Lodge
Accommodation Name: Umbhaba Eco Lodge or similar
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
A spellbinding experience awaits you this morning. Head out to explore Kruger National Park, often thought of as the world’s largest wildlife zoo. Wake up early in the morning and jump into a safari jeep with a specialised wildlife ranger-guide and drive over to Kruger Park for your very first safari experience. Enjoy a thrilling game drive and, like completing a wildlife bingo, try to spot all of Africa's highly sought-after Big Five: elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo. You will make two stops during the day, one for breakfast (included) and another for lunch (not included), at different rest camps throughout the safari. That way you will be able to take advantage of your time in the game reserve to the fullest and make sure you don’t miss any animal you were longing to see in its natural habitat. You will be driven back to the lodge in the late afternoon, at around 16:00 pm. The rest of the day is free for you to spend at leisure until dinner is served.

Today we will visit the Blyde River Canyon the 3rd largest canyon in the world. The canyon is over 40km long and 1200m deep. At a certain lookout point on the canyon, you will get to see the 3 Rondavels. The Rondavels get their name from their similar appearance to the Rondavel houses, a traditional Hut commonly built in Africa. These 3 outcrops stand prominently from the landscape. We then make a stop at God's window which allows people a window from the escarpment 1000 m below, one can see as far as Kruger and beyond on a clear day. Your comfortable walking shoes will be needed as the various lookout points have paths and trails to the view sights. Getting to the top takes an average person around 15-20 minutes, but it is worth the walk through a natural rainforest environment. We will arrive at the lodge at around 18-00 pm.
Overnight in Hazyview.
