Breakfast, departure to, Guarded by the small town of Graskop, the famous Panorama Route is home to mountains, forests and canyons, most notably, the Blyde River Canyon, which is also the world’s largest “green canyon”. The Blyde River Canyon’s lush subtropical foliage makes it the world’s largest green canyon. The awe-inspiring Lisbon Falls, Berlin Falls and Mac Mac Falls are just a short drive away. As are scenic landmarks such as Bourke's Luck Potholes, an unusual geological formation formed at the confluence of the Blyde and Treur rivers that mark the beginning of the Blyde River Canyon. Make sure you stop at God’s Window, so called for its panoramic view of the Lowveld more than 900 m down into lush indigenous forest-clad ravine. The majestic cliffs plunge over 700 m to the Lowveld and the private game reserves that have made the area one of South Africa's main wildlife destinations. Also, a short 30-minute drive from Graskop will take you to the gold rush town of Pilgrim's Rest where you can relive the 1873 gold rush in surroundings of unparalleled beauty. You can even try your hand at panning for gold.

Day 5 — Hazyview
Breakfast, departure to, Full day game drive in truck, lunch en route (not included), Kruger National Park is the centerpiece of South African tourism, a vast area rich in wildlife that stretches for over 400 km across the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. But the region inhabited by large African animals extends beyond the public part into a large number of private reserves, often very expensive and exclusive, which form the Greater Kruger and where the circulation during photo safaris is not limited to roads, but open to the entire accessible territory by off-road vehicles. The distinction between Kruger National Park and Greater Kruger obviously does not concern the animals, which freely and indifferently roam both the national park and the private reserves. In any case, the adventure and the extraordinary natural environment will thrill you., return to the lodge in the evening, dinner, accommodation GARRYA Nijo Castle Kyoto,
