Day 2 Panorama Route/Hazyview Explore the Panorama Route today – one of the most beautiful areas in South Africa, winding through the rugged northern Drakensberg. Highlights of this area include the Blyde River Canyon, God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes and the Three Rondavels.
Day 3 Kruger National Park After breakfast enter the Kruger National Park where you will spend the day game viewing, and the opportunity to spot Africa's 'Big Five' . We highly recommend a safari in an open safari vehicle with a qualified experienced field guide – we can book this for you from £84.00 pp for a full day or £68.00 pp ½ day.
Day 4 Kruger National Park/Swaziland Depart the Kruger National park area and travel to the Kingdom of Swaziland, a scenically beautiful and friendly kingdom steeped in traditional and African culture. Bargain for ethnic curios and African arts and crafts, which are available along the roadsides, and at many craft markets. Check into your chosen hotel.
Day 5 Swaziland/Hluhluwe Depart Swaziland travelling via Manzini and Big Bend before crossing the border back into South Africa and onto Zululand. The region abounds with wildlife in extensive reserves, the largest is the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, where the white rhino was rescued from extinction. Check into your chosen game lodge.
Day 6 Hluhluwe/Durban Travel to Durban with a suggested stop at Thanda, a local Zulu village, where you can learn the Zulu culture (own account). Arrive at Durban International airport and check in for your onward flight – or extend your stay in KwaZulu-Natal.
