The Panorama Route is one of South Africa's most spectacular scenic drives, featuring the dramatic Blyde River Canyon (one of the largest green canyons in the world), towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic views that stretch for hundreds of kilometers.
From Hoedspruit, you're perfectly positioned to explore this natural wonder. Our full-day Panorama Route tour visits all the major viewpoints and attractions, with plenty of time for photos, short walks, and soaking in the breathtaking landscapes.
Stand 1,730 meters above sea level and gaze across the Lowveld stretching all the way to Kruger National Park. On clear days, you can see for over 100 km. A short boardwalk trail leads through indigenous rainforest to multiple viewpoints.
Marvel at Africa's largest green canyon and the iconic Three Rondavels—three perfectly round peaks that resemble traditional African huts. The canyon plunges 800 meters deep with the Blyde River winding through the bottom. Simply spectacular photography opportunities!
Explore these fascinating cylindrical rock formations carved over millennia by swirling water and stones. Wooden walkways and bridges allow you to view the potholes from multiple angles. Named after gold prospector Tom Bourke who predicted (correctly) that gold would be found in the area.
Visit two of the region's most beautiful waterfalls. Lisbon Falls, Mpumalanga's highest twin waterfall, cascades 92 meters into a stunning pool below. Berlin Falls plunges 80 meters in a single dramatic drop surrounded by lush vegetation.
A 30-meter-high quartzite column rising dramatically from the forested valley below. Short walk from the viewpoint parking area offers stunning views of this geological wonder.
Additional panoramic viewpoints showcasing the dramatic escarpment edge and endless views across the Lowveld plains.
Stop at one of the charming towns along the route (Graskop or Sabie) for a delicious lunch. Browse local craft shops and enjoy the mountain village atmosphere. Lunch included in tour price.
