Kruger National Park

The world-renowned Kruger National Park is the largest game reserve in South Africa and is definitely one of the must-visit destinations in South Africa. This is a wildlife sanctuary like no other, offering magical unpredictability and endless wilderness that is the true quality of Africa. This is the land of baobabs, fever trees, knob thorns, marula and mopane trees underneath which lurk the Big Five, and more species of mammals and birds than any other African Game Reserve.

Manyeleti Private Game Reserve

Manyeleti Private Game Reserve borders directly to the vast Kruger National Park, as well as the famous Sabi Sands and Timbavati Game Reserves. As such, you can be absolutely sure to only experience the best game viewing possible. As there are no fences between the national park and the private game reserves, all wildlife is able to roam freely.

Manyeleti is prime “Big Five” territory with lion, rhino, buffalo and elephant and leopard being spotted on a very regular basis. Furthermore, with more than 300 bird species present in the area, Manyeleti makes a great safari destination for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and bird watchers alike.

Panorama Route

The magnificent Panorama Route starts in the town of Nelspruit and ends in Hoedspruit and is best known for its cultural heritage and its dramatic landscapes. Highlights along the route include numerous viewpoints and attractions, including God’s Window, the Lisbon and Berlin waterfalls, Blyde River Canyon (the third-largest canyon in the world) and Bourke’s Luck Potholes.
