Paperbark Bush Retreat
Travel Blogs from Lydenburg
Rested. Now for a big five African Safari.
We arrived at Johannesburg airport after 11 hours overnight flight feeling a little tired but very excited. Will our guide was waiting with a smile and refreshments and he soon had us on our way to the African Bush and Paperbark Bush Retreat. We'd chosen Paperbark as its carbon neutral (something quite rare in Africa) and because it gave us access …
Blyde River Canyon
... Graskop an. Einem kleinen Ort, der ideal liegt, um von dort aus Ausflüge in den Canyon zu unternehmen. Das 12-Bett-Zimmer hatten wir ganz für uns alleine und das Hostel war echt schön. :) Am nächsten Morgen ging es dann los auf der Panorama-Route durch den Canyon. Zuerst haben wir uns einen Wasserfall und einen Aussichtspunkt angeschaut, der sehr passend "God´s Window" heißt. Danach ging es zu den Bourke´s Luck Potholes. Das sind zylindrische Löcher, welche ...
Onto the Next Phase
This is a top pick!

Getting Charged by a Warthog Named Rusty
This is a top pick!
... we were going to bush bash (or "bundu bash" as D calls it) our way to the Main Road then walk onto North Gate however after about 5 min we decided not to rely on instinct, instead take the known road and head back and around for a much gentler walk... where we wouldn't end up lost, haha.
The walk up there was quite nice, a slow but steady pace so as to absorb everything, spot tracks and any other evidence of wildlife. (Like a porcupine ...
Lazy Days
This is a top pick!
... 8217;d go close to those with or without baby vervets!), and a variety of new plants to taste. I was surprised, we had orange yesterday and apparently they’d never eaten that before – it was enjoyed very much so. Not as much as beer/ coke/ savannah but enjoyed in terms of fruit, haha.
We had a bit of rain and wind in the last few days which has been nice. The temperature as a whole has dropped in the last ...
