Waves crash on indifferent rocks. Paint peels on forgotten farmhouses flashing by on the long road. On the edge of the desert, a little boy lies with only the hot wind for eternal company. In kitchens of houses once lived in, remnants of food eaten in times forgotten moulder on dusty shelves.

Where poets once walked and dreamers once dreamed, thoughts turn to unknowable starscapes and late night imaginings. Oh, and skaapstertjies.

Segaia Bush Retreat is a highly recommended property for self catering in Buffelsdrift for anyone visiting the Northern Gauteng region. The name rolls gently and easily off the tongue – Segaia – a name you’re not likely to forget once you’ve visited this charming lodge which is a mere 20km from Pretoria and less than an hour from Johannesburg and O.R. Tambo International Airport. One of the jewels of northern Gauteng, Segaia Bush Retreat offers an escape to the magic of the bush that reminds of areas far more remote. It is the perfect getaway for weary, ‘traffic jammed’ city dwellers who do not want to spend hours on the road to get to a weekend destination, but require an atmosphere of peace and tranquility combined with fresh air.
The Panorama Route is a scenic road in South Africa connecting several cultural and natural points of interest. The route, steeped in the history of South Africa, is in Mpumalanga province, centred around the Blyde River Canyon, the world’s third largest canyon. It features numerous waterfalls, one of the largest afforested areas in South Africa, and several natural landmarks. The route starts at the foot of the Long Tom Pass just outside Lydenburg, following the natural descent from the Great Escarpment to the Lowveld, and ending at the border of the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces near the Echo Caves. The Panorama Route’s popularity has much to do with its proximity to the Kruger National Park. It is often part and parcel of any organised trip to the game reserve.
