We were very sad to leave our camp in the bush. These are photos taken on our last morning – the restaurant where Howard is sitting, the swimming pool and the Braai area now looking a little bare (I wish I had taken some photos when we sat around the fire chatting in the evenings – it was so lovely)
but Gavin (van der Merwe, the owner) took us to Jo’Burg on the most glorious of routes back – the Panorama Route. High up into the the rugged mountain range of the northern Drakensberg in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa it passes through the north-eastern part of the Great Escarpment where from the plateau you have fantastic views of the plains a thousand metres below. We made 3 stops:
The Blyde River Canyon – the Pinnacle
Then God’s Window – the most famous and rightly so (and thus a little more developed, tourist-wise) A walk to the edge of the escarpment through a small section of rainforest and this fantastic view opens up.
And then the Berlyn Waterfall…. 
Jacaranda trees in full bloom on the road back – beautiful 
Our last stop with Gavin – appropriately enough a Pancake House!
