It is an adventure of relaxed interaction with the elephants, enjoying the beauty of the area and of getting acquainted with these gentle giants in a meaningful way.

There is more action at night in Kruger than during the day. Hunters take advantage of the cover of darkness to stalk their prey, while grazers and browsers often feed actively at night because they experience less energy loss than during the day.

Who wouldn’t want to drift with the direction of the wind, watching herds of animals missioning over the escarpment. Well worth rubbing the sleep from your eyes and rising early for a sunrise drift over serene landscapes, forests and hills.

Masorini is a restored Iron Age village about 10km from the Phalaborwa gate. It is probably the most accessible of the remnants of stone and iron age life within the park. The huts are reconstructed and show the process the civilisation went through to forge iron.

Blyde River Canyon is one of the largest canyons on Earth, and it may be the largest 'green canyon' due to its lush subtropical foliage. It has some of the deepest precipitous cliffs of any canyon on the planet. Possibly the best view in the whole of the Canyon is of the "Three Rondavels", three huge, round rocks.
