Blyde River Canyon is the third largest canyon in the world, and the world’s largest green canyon- stretching over 26km and 800m deep. It isn’t a surprise that it visited from far and wide. Sunway Safaris gives its clients the opportunity to marvel at this natural wonder on one of these three tours;

Walking South Africa (JJa14), 14 day accommodated tour;

Wild Kingdoms (JDac08), 8 day classic tour;

Trade Route (LM22), 22 day camping tour.

Khama Rhino is a community based wildlife project established in 1989 as a last attempt effort to save the almost extinct rhino of the area. The sanctuary covers 8585 hectares of Kalahari Sandveld and is situated 20km from the Serowe village. Lutenant General Sertse Khama and other conservationist led the project. In 1992 four white rhino were introduced to Khama Rhino from Chobe National Park, Botswana and 10 years later the critically endangered black rhino was introduced. The Botswana Defence Force (BDF) keeps a watchful eye on their precious rhinos and are constantly patrolling the sanctuary’s borders.

Jonas and Colly recently led some of our adventurous travellers on the Walking South Africa 14 day accommodated tour (JJa14). The tour offers our clients the opportunity to hike and walk in some of South Africa’s most iconic destinations- the tour offers our clients a variety of walks and hikes with varying difficulties. The Walking South Africa tour is perfect for those clients who want to venture on the path less travelled.

Our guides Petros and Norman recently visited the Matobos National Park with their tour group to track and walk with white rhinos on the 16 day Zimbabwe Botswana Game Trail camping tour (ZB16). The guides shared their experience and special memories with us.  

The Matobos National Park in Zimbabwe lies on granite kopjes formed some 2000 million years ago, as molten rock spread across the landscape. The Matopos hills are surrounded by woody vegetation and home to the white rhino.
