Kruger Park Lodge
Hazyview
This is an RCI Resort with well-manicured golf-course, antelope browsing and cavorting on the grass, geese and other feathered and non-feathered birds aplenty, some monkeys also showed us a few tricks.
This picture is hazy because I took it through the windscreen. I was afraid they would run away if I got out the car. They were grazing right at our back door. The front door opened up onto a verandah with a view of the golf course and our 'braai' (barbecue) area.
We saw a number of waterfalls; Bridal Veil Falls, Sabie Falls, Graskop Falls,( we missed out on Mac Mac, they were double the price of most of the others), Berlin Falls, etc., on our trips through
Sabie,
Graskop,
Pilgrim's Rest, Ohrigstad,
Nelspruit, White River,
Barberton, and surrounding villages.
I was pleasantly surprised with
Hazyview. Yes the view is hazy. This is a large town with a huge shopping centre with all the things you need, Woolworths, Pick and Pay and all the other shops you normally get in a large shopping centre in South Africa. We live in a beautiful country and this part of the country is particularly beautiful.
Attractions
We passed Pine and Eucalyptus Forests, lush vegetation, Bananas, Mangoes, Coffee Plantations, Litchi, Pawpaw, and other tropical fruit plantations and citrus orchards on our way.
The Kruger Gate of the
Kruger National Park is but a short distance away from Hazyview.
Gods Window, Bourke's Potholes, Blyde River Canyon, Echo Caves, Sudwala Caves, Silk Farm, Robber's Pass, Jock of the Bushveld, Dinosaur Park and a few pubs along the way.
Beautiful Scenery.

On our way. It was overcast all the way down. Gauteng Province had torrential rains on Friday, and a number of people in Soweto and other low-lying areas were left homeless.
The first 3 days the mist and rain came and went. Visibility was virtually zero. By the third evening we had an exquisite sunset.
