You will depart your lodge early in the morning after breakfast and drive to the Kruger National Park. The entrance fees (conservation fee) for the Kruger Park are at present at R 120 per person per day (children paying half). The gates open at 05h30am and close at sunset. Please note that you need to leave the Kruger National Park before then. Please ensure that you stay in your vehicle at all times unless in a designated stopping area. The speed limit in the park is 40km/h. Your accommodation tonight will be in the Greater Kruger Park in our preferred lodges. Spend your evening around the fire talking to other travellers about your adventures of the day, and getting tips on where to go the following day. The Greater Kruger is West of South Africa's Kruger National Park. Bordering it are independent safari lodges and hotels. Perfectly positioned, these independent lodges allow for a combination of activities as they allow easy access to all the exciting highlights of this region. The lodges in the greater Kruger allow for the freedom of walks (with or without guide) but please take note that you are surrounded by the BIG 5 reserves. All activities will take place on the borders of these private reserves.

After breakfast, you will leave your lodge and take a drive along the lovely Panoramic Route in the Province of Mpumalanga “The Land of the Rising Sun” where you will be able to enjoy the famous landmarks of the Pinnacle, Gods Window, The 3 Rondavels, Bourke’s Potholes and the historic little town of Pilgrim’s Rest. The name 3 Rondavels comes from the name of the African huts that have the same shape as the mountains. You have to stop at Bourke’s Luck Potholes, for millions of years the Blyde River and Treur River ran a collision course here and stunning rock formations are the result. Stop and have lunch at the infamous Harry’s Pancakes or go the Waterfront. After lunch take a leisurely drive to Dulstroom where you will spend the night. Dulstroom is only 2 hours away from Johannesburg.
