Day 2 : Panaromic Route
We recommend you make an early start to the day in order to fully enjoy Mpumalanga Panoramic route. Start with a visit to the mining village of Pilgrim’s Rest. You’ll also pass some natural wonders which are well worth visiting such as the Blyde River Canyon. Which is best viewed from God’s Window - a vantage point so high above the valley that it literally feels like "God’s Window". Out of the canyon spurt three huge rocks with tops that look like traditional African hut roofs- hence their name, the Three Rondavels.
The Bourkes Luck Potholes are a natural water feature marking the beginning of the canyon. Over thousands of years, the flow of the Treur River into the Blyde River caused waterborne sand and rock to grind huge, cylindrical potholes into the river’s bedrock.
Accommodation : Perry's Bridge Hollow
Basis : Breakfast
Day 3 : Safari Kirkmans Camp
This morning you will depart from Perry's Bridge and self drive to Kirkmans Camp in the heart of the Sabi Sands. This is South Africa’s premier reserve and as well as being a fantastic Big Five reserve is most noted for its excellent sightings of Leopard.
