One of the absolute highlights during your stay at @ubuntuluxuryvilla is a day-trip to the Panorama Route, actually it’s one of the highlights of a visit to South Africa 🇿🇦.
You can either go with a professional guide, but it’s also well known as a self-drive.
We think the following stops should absolutely be included in your day in the Canyon🤩:
1. Lisbon Falls, there are many waterfalls to visit along the route but this is still one of our favorites
2. God’s Window and the Rainforest Walk, this gives you a stunning view over the lowveld and when you are there during fall all aloes will be in bloom too😍. Absolutely don’t forget to hike up along the Rainforest Walk. Walk in between gorgeous indigenous plants and end with the most stunning views!
3. Have lunch at The Chubby Pig, located along a crystal clear river and try some nice local dishes such as Bobotie.
4. Visit Bourkes Luck Potholes and see both the river Treur and Blyde come together. Watch how these rivers shaped all the rocks 😍
5. Last but not least, see the Three Rondavels and the actual Blyde River Canyon. We still think this is THE highlight of the day, although everything is stunning of course.
TIP: plan this at the end of your day as the light on the rondavels is the best!
Should you wish to see the canyon from another perspective it’s always great to book a 1,5 hour boat trip through the canyon and experience all from a different angle.

This is the best way to end your day in the bush, around the boma fire with your friends or family 🥂 🔥
Taking about all the important things in life and of course the wonderful things you have seen that day, from wildlife to stunning nature. Exactly what we did with our recent guests @bea_adventurous_ and @nala_africa_safaris 🙌🏼.

Join us on an afternoon game drive / safari on Rietspruit Game Reserve with @khaya_ndlovu with our guide Lovers.
The reserve is located in Hoedspruit on only 10 minutes from the villa. We can book you on a morning or afternoon game drive and you can even combine it with breakfast or dinner, like you see in this video.
You have the chance to encounter the Big Five animals and much more, but remember you are in the wild so you never know what nature will give you. Every safari is different, with different wildlife encounters.
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the deck together with our guests @nala_africa_safaris and @bea_adventurous_
On Tuesdays and Fridays they offer a boma dinner, rustic dining around the fire 🔥.

We received many questions about the roaring lion we encountered on a recent game drive / safari. Many people responded and thought there was something wrong with this lion, but actually it’s very normal behavior. These lions are 3 brothers and were resting after they had killed an animal and eaten. At the end of the day, just around sunset lions become active and start communicating with each other, which is via roaring. One of the brother started to respond short after.
When lions start to yawn it’s also a sign that they will start getting active and walk or in this case go and drink some water. We hope this helps to understand the bush a bit better and lion behavior.

Sound on 🔥🔥🔥
How amazing was this sighting of Notch, one of the 3 Khaya / Rietspruit boys 💪🏼💓. They had killed something as their bellies were very full and we thought they were not going to move at all and all of a sudden they started to roar 🦁.
No better sound in the bush🙌🏼💓💪🏼🔥.
So special to show this to our current guests as this was their first afternoon game drive🇿🇦🍀. We were also lucky to get so close to them and have the best view on them.
For these game drives we work together with @khaya_ndlovu and we can book you on either a morning or afternoon game drive / safari. We can also combine this with breakfast or dinner.
