Blyde River Canyon
... entstanden sind, da dort zwei Flüsse (Blyde und Treuer) zusammenkommen. Das Highlight des Canyons waren aber die drei Rondavels. Drei sehr große runde Felsen, welche mit Gras bewachsen sind und einem wunderschönen Panorama. :)
Den zweiten Tag haben wir uns ein paar Wasserfälle angeschaut und sind in das kleine Ort "Pilgrim´s Rest" gefahren. In diesem Ort scheint die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein. Es wurde durch den Fund von Gold berühmt. ...
Olifantjes en autorijden

We rolled into Graskop ...
The Big 5 (well I saw 4 anyway......)
... they very obligingly stood up for a minute or two which provided a great photo opportunity! They were really beautiful. During the day we also got to see a large herd of buffalo (at least 40), several rhinos at close quarters, wildebeest, a 40-strong herd of elephants, hippos (including a very cute baby), zebras, warthogs, giraffes, waterbucks, impala and a variety of eagles, vultures and other birds. A great day's viewing and by the end of it I'd seen ...
