Although the exact itinerary, and the order of it, depends on the weather as well as client preferences, you’ll have time during the day to stroll to admire one of the waterfalls, pause at key viewpoints such as the one overlooking striking rocky features such as the Three Rondavels and take in the dramatic beauty of the 25km-long Blyde River Canyon, the stunning centrepoint of the drive. You’ll also stop at the curious Bourke’s Luck Potholes, formed entirely by water erosion, which you can gaze down on from specially constructed overhead walkways.

Although it’s the scenery that forms the focus of the day, nature lovers will appreciate the rich variety of birdlife that thrives in the different biomes, from southern bald ibis to Cape vultures. Although lunch is not included, you’ll also take a break in Graskop or historic Pilgrim’s Rest – established in 1873 when gold was discovered nearby and now a heritage site – where there’s a choice of good, simple places to eat, such as eternal favourite Harrie’s Pancake
