Hazyview

We were met at the hotel at 7:00am by our tour director Nelson & driver Mele. We had to go to another hotel to collect the rest of our group. There was quite a mix up as to who was on which mini bus as there were two going. We finished up with 12 in our group. We made a couple of comfort stops along the way. At the second one there were some animals to give us a taste of what was to come.

We finally reached Blyde Canyon where we were to have lunch at 2:00pm. We had a toasted bacon, egg & cheese sandwich. From here we continued on to the Three Rondavels – mountains that look very much like the native round huts.

 

Our next stop was at Bourke's Luck Potholes which are the result of decades of swirling eddies of water where the Treur River meets the Blyde River. They are a truly amazing sight to see. We had to walk quite a way and cross a couple of suspension bridges for the view.

Our last stop along the Panorama Route was at God’s Window. Unfortunately, due to the heat & fire haze the view was not very good.

We continued on to Hazyview (very aptly named) to Perry’s Hollow Hotel where we were staying as it is close to Kruger National Park.
