This short tour takes you to one of the world’s best game parks, the Kruger National Park, and you’ll have the perfect opportunity to bag the big 5, Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo!
First you will visit the Kwa Madwala Reserve with its leopard conservation project providing a safe haven for this majestic big cat. Then head deep into the park in search of wildlife. Kruger National Park was established in 1898 and covers nearly 2 million hectares. It is unrivalled in the diversity of its wildlife with approximately 145 mammal species including the ‘Big Five’, a list of over 500 bird species, some of which are not to be found elsewhere in South Africa, and 336 tree species occur in the park.
Leaving the park behind we head back to Johannesburg along the spectacular Panoramic Route, passing through the towering cliffs of Blyde River Canyon, one of South Africa’s most amazing natural wonder.
