Included with each safari package

After your last morning safari on your homeward bound journey, we take the time to enjoy the scenic route, South Africa's famous Panoramic Route in the northern Drakensberg mountain range. It's very scenic and will give you that chance to use up your film. We stop for a pancake breakfast at a mountain town called Graskop. Afterwards you visit scenic places such as God's Window, Berlin Falls, Bourkes Luck Potholes and the Blyde River Canyon. At each stop, there is a chance to shop and barter for curios.

The Blyde River Nature Reserve on the edge of the northern Drakensberg mountains is perhaps the most spectacular of all the scenic wonders of Africa. The views are breathtaking and they are full of extraordinary natural wonders such as God's Window - a deep gash in the mountain wall which presents an awe inspiring view of the escarpment above and the valley floor 1,000 metres below.

Close to God's Window the spectacular Berlin Falls cascade down a rocky cliff like graceful willowy curtains into a still pool of emerald green.

You will see natural wonders like Bourkes Luck Potholes - huge cylindrical holes and channels carved into the rock face where the Blyde and Truer rivers meet. This odd formation visible from the walkways over the gorge, has been fashioned over thousands of years by lots of whirlpools whittling away at the rock.

The Blyde River Canyon towers above the canyon floor in sheer vertical cliffs of orange ochre soaring to 700 meters above the Blyde river. Beneath the cliffs the mountains appear to be swathed in bolts of luscious green cloth cascading into the dark blue waters of the gorge below.

The views are absolutely breathtaking

and not to be missed.
