4-Day Eco-Friendly Kruger and Panorama Route Tour Itinerary
Day 1 :
Safari in Manyeleti
We will pick you up at your Hoedspruit hotel or the airport if you are coming in. Our professional driver is ready to take you to The Wild Olive Tree Camp, which is one of the few eco-friendly camps run by people in the area. After you check in and get comfortable in your large tent, you can have lunch in the afternoon. As the sun goes down, go on your first exciting adventure: a game drive in the Manyeleti Game Reserve. If you drive in an open car, you can fully enjoy the sights and sounds of the African desert. Nothing is certain in this land; anything could happen. Follow the majestic "Big Five"—the lion, the elephant, the rhino, the leopard, and the buffalo—and enjoy the wide range of animals and beautiful scenery that you see.

Explore the Kruger National Park
Early in the morning, you go out on a full-day game drive in South Africa's world-renowned Kruger National Park, the best place for animal encounters. The Kruger National Park is well-known for its outstanding amenities and various habitats, providing an unmatched safari experience.

Gems of the Panorama Route
The Panorama Route along the Blyde River Canyon is perhaps one of South Africa's most picturesque attractions. The interior plateau quickly drops in the northeastern portion of the Great Escarpment, revealing stunning vistas of the Lowveld lowlands. The most stunning portion is Blyde River Canyon, the world's third-greatest canyon of its sort. Experience the marvel of God's Window, which offers endless vistas of the Lowveld, as well as the stunning rock formations carved eons ago by erosion at Bourke's Lucky Potholes.
This trip also includes a boat journey down the Blyde River, where a licensed guide will take you to the very uncommon Kadishi Tufa Waterfall. Wildlife to view includes hippos, crocodiles, and a plethora of birds, including African fish eagles.
