5-Day Kruger Park and Panorama Route from Johannesburg

This will be a 5-hour road trip. Pick-up from your hotel is between 6 and 7 am and we drive to Hoedspruit in a comfortable vehicle. The estimated time of arrival is at noon. Upon arrival, enjoy some welcoming drinks, unpack and relax and then enjoy lunch.

Explore the nocturnal life in the wild with a sunset game drive which offers you a chance to see predators stalking their prey (however, a kill is not always guaranteed). See night birds like owls, watch the shining eyes of wild animals, listen to the chirping crickets and howling animals, and watch hippos come out of the water to graze. A sunset game drive is a perfect way to enjoy being in nature while watching the stars and experiencing the cool evening breeze.

It is the greenest canyon in the world as well as one of the biggest canyons in the world. The Panorama Route will take you through scenic drives and stops at some of the best views along the canyon. The first stop is at God's Window, situated on the Drakensberg escarpment. It offers magnificent views of the canyon.

You'll pass by the Lisbon Falls and the Berlin Falls. Drive to Bourke's Luck Potholes situated on the Blyde River Canyon. The potholes are deep, cylindrical potholes formed from millions of years of soil erosion. The last stop for the day will be at the Three Rondavels. This famous viewing point gives an amazing view of the Blyde River Canyon. We then drive back to the lodge.
