I love the Northern Drakensberg mountain range – the silent sentinels that guard Hoedspruit and the wild spaces beyond.

If these ancient cliffs could speak, what stories they’d tell…
Of full moons casting silver over the bushveld,
Of thunderstorms rolling in like drums of time,
Of countless generations who’ve stood in awe – just like I do now.

There’s a stillness here that stirs the soul.
A reminder that nature doesn’t rush – it endures,
And in its presence, so do we.

No visit to the Panorama Route is complete without soaking in the breathtaking views of the Blyde River Canyon — widely regarded as the largest green canyon in the world.

While the route is filled with unforgettable stops, one viewpoint always captures our hearts: The Three Rondavels.

These towering rock formations resemble traditional African round huts — called "rondawels" in Afrikaans — and are named after the three wives of Chief Maripe Mashile: Maseroto, Mogoladikwe, and Magabolle.

Just behind them lies Mariepskop, the site of a legendary battle where Chief Mashile and his people defended their stronghold against invading Swazi forces in the mid-1800s — using fog and boulders to win what’s now remembered as the Battle of Moholoholo.

Join us for a day out on the Panorama Route for more fascinating sites and history.

There are experiences in life that leave you changed — and visiting the HERD Elephant Orphanage was one of them.

Standing beside these magnificent elephants, hearing their stories of loss, survival, and healing, reminded us of the deep connections between people, wildlife, and the land we all share.

HERD isn’t just a sanctuary — it’s a symbol of hope. The care and compassion their team pours into each elephant’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

If you ever find yourself in Hoedspruit, this is a place that will move your heart.

What an incredible day exploring Kruger National Park with this lovely group of guests all the way from the States!

There’s truly no better way to experience the magic of the bush than in an open safari vehicle, guided by someone who knows how to bring every sighting to life.

Thank you for choosing Buya Buya Travel— we loved sharing this wild adventure with you!

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.

If you’re looking for an authentic, local adventure, be sure to check out Shik Shack Tours at Nourish Eco Village or visit their website: https://www.shikshack.com/tours
