Mapungubwe and Azaleas

We spend two nights in Mapungubwe National Park with ample time to visit the heritage site and enjoy game drives. A night is spent near Louis Trichardt in order to enjoy the stories of the Bushveld Carbineers and “Breaker” Morant before making our way to Haenertsburg for two nights. A visit to Cheerio during Azalea season is a must and there will be other scenic drives and visits in the area of Magoebaskloof before heading home.
