Itineraries

Day 1

The Panorama Route and Blyde River Canyon

This morning we'll depart early from Johannesburg. Our route takes us through the agricultural and mining areas of the Highveld. It continues to the Mpumalanga escarpment where we visit many attractions along the Panorama Route including God’s Window, the Bourke’s Luck Potholes and the viewpoint over the Blyde River Canyon at the Three Rondavels. The Panorama Route along the Blyde River Canyon in Mpumalanga is arguably one of the most beautiful and popular travel destinations in South Africa. It leads through the rugged mountain range of the northern Drakensberg. Here, in the northeastern part of the Great Escarpment, the inland plateau declines abruptly and steeply open up fantastic views of the plains of the Lowveld up to a thousand meters below. In the afternoon we'll descend the eastern escarpment and travel through the “Lowveld” to our hotel, located just a short distance from the nearest entrance gate to the Kruger National Park. Dinner is enjoyed at the hotel.
