3. Gary's African Safari - Blydepoort, Bourke's Luck Potholes [06:43]
The Blyde River Canyon is the third largest canyon in the world and was formed by rivers cutting deep into the escarpment and eroding millions of tons of rock which were carried to the Lowveld and beyond to the Indian Ocean. More than 700 metres below the 370 hectare Blyde River Dam (Blydepoort) is visible towards the lower end of the canyon at the confluence of the Blyde and Ohrigstad Rivers. The Three Rondawels The word "Rondawel" is a South African word that refers to a round hut-like dwelling (usually with a thatched roof). The three well known gigantic peaks of quartzite and shale with their sheer rock walls tower more than 700 m above the surrounding landscape. The most spectacular for me (Gary) were the Bourke's Luck Potholes This world renowned landmark is at the confluence of the Blyde and Treur rivers. Over millions of years waterborne sand and rock scoured huge cylindrical potholes into the bedrock of the river. There is a half mile walk to the actual potholes and there are also two circular hiking routes (Bourke's Luck Potholes Interpretive Trail and the Bushman Nature Trail). We did a bit of both! Music: Chaminade - Autumn, Op 35 from "Favourite Piano Classics" CD.

John X Safaris - South African Safaris [03:15]
South Africa is one of the most exciting countries in the world to hunt. Bigger than France and Spain combined, South Africa offers exotic and diverse combinations of landscapes, vegetation and wildlife that together make this country a unique hunting destination. The Eastern Cape and Karoo, both Malaria free areas, offer the finest hunting in the country with over 40 species of trophies available. This is more than anywhere else in Africa. In South Africa you are not limited by hunting seasons, but we prefer our seasons run from early March through late October. During these months the Eastern Cape boasts a moderate climate, making for comfortable hunting conditions and allowing those non-hunters to take part in the many extra activities available to them. We have access to over 3 million acres of privately owned land and game reserves bearing forth the high standards in trophy quality, which is documented in the record books. We believe that all hunters have their own idea and dream of hunting Africa; it is therefore only fair that each hunter customizes his/her own hunt. For this reason, John X Safaris does not offer any package hunts, which at times forces the hunter to pay for trophies in a package that he/she may not be interested in. South Africa is a great destination for the first time hunter to Africa, but it offers so much more than that. For the second and third time hunter, it allows you time to hunt and explore the smallest of antelope in our forest, to our ...
