Always such a great experience for our clients!

A must do in Hoedspruit for sure…

Our team had an amazing time with Shik Shack Tours on their Village Walking Tour!

We joined them for a 2.5‑hour journey through Sigagule, where our guide—Martin, a passionate local—shared the rich culture and history of his home village.

His storytelling and insights truly brought the experience to life.

There are few things as breathtaking as seeing the Blyde River Canyon from above! We had the incredible opportunity to take to the skies with Kyle from Leading Edge Flight School, and the views were nothing short of spectacular.

From the lush greenery of the canyon to the winding Blyde River below, this aerial adventure is a must for anyone looking to experience Hoedspruit from a whole new perspective!

Watch our journey as we glide over the largest green canyons in the world – an unforgettable way to explore this natural wonder.

This is what’s left of the tree Harry Wolhuter climbed after one of the most extraordinary survival stories in Kruger’s history.

In 1903, while on patrol, Wolhuter was attacked by two lions. In an incredible act of courage, he fought off one of the lions with a knife, killing it, and then climbed this very tree to escape—just in case the second lion returned.

Wounded and exhausted, he waited in the tree until help arrived. Today, this tree stands as a powerful reminder of his bravery and the untamed spirit of the African wilderness.

Visiting this spot is like stepping back in time, experiencing a piece of history that reminds us of the resilience and courage it took to patrol these wild lands back in those days.

📍 You can find this historic site on the Lindanda Road (S35).

Client feedback is important to us at Buya Buya Travel… even when it’s unspoken.

Clearly, my toughest critic is riding in the back today – and he’s not impressed!

While traveling the scenic Panorama Route, you may come across this historic signboard commemorating the Trichardt-Potgieter expedition. This plaque marks a significant moment in Voortrekker history.

Close to this spot, a group of Voortrekkers, led by Trichardt and Potgieter, set up camp by the river while some of the men ventured out to search for a way down the steep escarpment. Days turned to weeks, and when the scouting party didn’t return at the expected time, the waiting group feared the worst. In their sorrow, they named the river near their camp the Treur River ("River of Sorrow").

But the story didn’t end there. The men eventually returned, having successfully found a route. Overcome with relief and joy, the reunited party renamed another nearby river the Blyde River ("River of Joy"). These names remain today as part of the emotional and geographical history of the region.

We have had some wonderful rain over the last week that has slowly transformed the very dry Kruger region.

Signs of life are now showing, and we are reminded that the bush is extremely resilient as seasons come and seasons go.

We are excited for the summer as we gear up for a busy year-end.

See you out there!
