Kruger and Zululand

Prolific wildlife, history and diverse

Mpumalanga & Kruger

Your adventure starts with stunning scenery and culture as you explore Bourke's Luck Potholes, God's Window, Blyde River Canyon and the preserved Victorian gold mining town of Pilgrim's Rest. Next up is the famous Kruger National Park where you'll head out on game drives hoping to spot the big five of elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo ' not to mention zebra, giraffe, antelope and numerous species of colourful birds.

Wetlands, Battlefields & Mountains

After stretching your legs in the Swaziland hills, the wetlands of St Lucia offer a completely different habitat to explore. The game viewing in Hluhluwe with its high concentration of rhino is fantastic. Heading back inland you'll visit the Zulu War battlefields of Islandwana and Rorke's Drift before ending up in the Drakensberg Mountains. These dramatic peaks and sweeping amphitheatres of rock offer great walking possibilities and you'll have two full days to make the most of it.
