Blyde River Canyon

Blyde River Canyon is supposed to be one of the largest canyons in the world measuring 26 km in length. We took the Panorama route to see the views of the canyon and lowlands and of course to find some caches along the way. I was also hoping to find some little souvenirs to buy and take back home. But first we enjoyed what the town Graskop had to offer. Delicious savoury and sweet pancakes The Pinacle The God's Window The Bush Kitchen - Potlack Bosombois Toilet with a view and a spray ;) Unique Bourke's Luck Potholes Selfie Amazing Three Rondavels A Wonderful Day on the Panorama Route

Morning Walk and a Night Ride

There are certain activities offered by the park you stay at. They are morning walks and morning rides, afternoon rides, afternoon walks and night rides. There are also stays in bush for up to three days on offer. We decided to do those we couldn't do on our own and booked a morning walk already from home and a night drive on our arrival to Satara. Both were exciting in their own way. There were not many animals we could see. However, there is lots more you can learn about the bush by observing, reading the signs they leave behind. Especially on the morning walk - we learnt much about the elephant and rhino's habits.

The road quality is very high, you just have to look out for cows, monkeys and people crossing the highway. Especially people cross the highway in a quite relaxed manner. We are staying at locals for the first time. You also rarely come across white South Africans in Mtubatuba. Our resort manager Eon is a very friendly guy but you can soon spot some differences. They try to make the place of good quality but fail at several levels, they party with friends inside the premises and do not keep the place that clean but it all doesn't matter. We are here for varied experience. These local native guys remind me of our gypsies. They are of very similar nature with all its beauties and handicaps. I love how Eon smiles all the time and his laughter is contagious not mentioning his energy. We loved our stay here. Marula p...
