4-Days Kruger National Park Camping Tour

Trip Overview

Kruger National park- Probably the world's premier game park. Enormous in size and containing an impressive diversity of fauna and flora, Kruger is bound to amaze. This tour is for people with limited time and an interest in seeing some of the unique and magnificent animals of the continent. In addition, we visit many natural and scenic wonders en route. This tour is also available as an accommodated tour.

Stage highlights:
For your interest - Blyde River Canyon:

The Blyde River Canyon is one of the most spectacular canyons in Africa and its cliffs rise between 600m-800m from the riverbed. At the ‘Three Rondavels viewpoint’ (also called ‘The Three Sisters’) is an unforgettable view of three huge rock spirals rising out of the far wall of the canyon. Their tops appear to have a hut-like rounded roof. Where the Blyde River (‘river of joy’) and the Treur River (‘river of sorrow’) meet, water erosion has formed one of the most remarkable geological phenomena in the country, known as ‘Bourke’s Luck Potholes’. Over thousands of years, surreal cylindrical rock sculptures created by whirling water have formed a series of dark pools which contrast artfully with the streaked white and yellow lichen covered rocks.
Following the road and the Treur River south, there are further viewpoints; Wonder View, God’s Window and the Pinnacle.
The Three Rondavels are named after the Swazi Chief - Maripi’s wives. From the lowest to the highest, they are Magabolle, Mogoladikwe and Maserote.
