Traveling through the beautiful Mpumalanga Province you will make your way through Belfast up to Dullstroom, a quaint little town situated at 2100 m above sea level. Dullstroom features the highest railway station in South Africa at 2,077 m above sea level. It is South Africa's premier trout and fly fishing area and is the only region in South Africa where you will find the endangered Crowned Crane, the Blue Crane, as well as the Wattled Crane which is critically endangered. A stop for refreshments and a stroll through this charming little town is suggested. Your journey continues through Lydenburg over the Long Tom Pass. Its highest point is 2 150m above sea-level. The old pass, constructed with pick and shovel by human labour was first used in 1874. Then onto Sabie a small country town nestled in the majestic Drakensberg escarpment mountains. Beautiful waterfalls and nature walks can be done if you wish to spare the time. Pilgrims Rest is the next stop. A unique historic village offering the visitor a fascinating window into the past which captures the spirit of a bygone era and its people in their quest for gold. The entire town is declared a National Monument as a living memory of the gold rush days during the 1800's and 1900's.

Day 2-3: Kruger National Park
Suggested Itinerary
Guests are advised to spend the early mornings and late afternoons on self drive safari’s. During these periods of the day the various mammals which grace the African Savannah are most active and the chance of excellent sightings during these times of the day are better than during the middle of the day. The late afternoon offers the best opportunity of spotting the Big Cats as the Lion and Leopard become active during this period of the day, readying them for the evenings hunt.
