On our drive to Hazyview through the province of Mpumalanga, we get a first impression of the diversity of this fascinating country. The area around Witbank is home to the Ndebele tribe, whose members are known for their colorful clothing and beaded hoops. They paint their houses with strict geometric patterns.

The Blyde River Canyon is a gigantic, 26-kilometer-long gorge and one of South Africa's greatest natural wonders. The viewpoints Three Rondavels, Bourke's Luck Potholes and God's Window (weather permitting) offer breathtaking views. 200 km (F)

Day 5

Hazyview: Kruger National Park

The wilderness is calling! We set off early in the morning for a visit to the Kruger National Park, whose diversity of plants and animals is unique. The whole day is dedicated to game viewing by coach and with a little luck we will spot the "Big Five": lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and buffalos. You also have the option of taking part in a game drive in an open off-road vehicle. 150 km (F)
