Full-Day Panorama Route Tour from Hazyview
Description
The Panorama Tour visits well known sites in an air-conditioned vehicle with a qualified guide who has good knowledge of the area. Spectacular views of the Blyde River Canyon, and out over the endless Lowveld beyond will not disappoint. Guests are taken along the edge of the escarpment to look out points offering magnificent views, including God’s Window, Wonderview and the Three Rondawels. Along the route guests visit the famous Bourke’s Luck Potholes – deep cylindrical cavities formed by thousands of years of water erosion at the confluence of the Blyde and Treur Rivers. At lunchtime the tour will stop in Graskop for guests to enjoy lunch at a restaurant, and, if time permits, browse the many curio stalls and shops in this little village. South of Graskop, where the Sabie River rises there are many beautiful waterfalls which we will visit whilst making our way back to Hazyview. Bottled mineral waters are provided during the journey.

A picturesque view point of the magnificent Blyde River Canyon, where on a clear day you can glimpse a view of the Lebombo Mountain range. There is a small hike to get to the actual view point.
This natural water feature marks the beginning of the Blyde River Canyon. Through countless eons the swirling whirlpools which occur as the Treur River plunges into the Blyde River caused waterborne sand and rock to grind huge, cylindrical potholes into the bedrock of the river.
A short walkof 200m through an indigenous forest will lead you to this 68m high national monument. The falls can be viewed from the bottom as well as a couple of meters above ground.
At lunchtime the tour will stop in Graskop for guests to enjoy lunch at a restaurant, and, if time permits, browse the many curio stalls and shops in this little village

From Hazyview, drove to the Three Rondavels view point then did Bourke’s Luck Potholes, God;s Window then Lisbon Falls and ended with Graskop Gorge Lift. Amazing views and weather was great. Check weather especially for God’s window, when we arrived there is was fully humid nothing was visible but it cleared up quickly after, enjoyed the forest walk at God’s window. Estimate time of 8 hours to cover all with lunch break. It was not crowded whatsoever as the visitor was on a Tuesday. Very friendly staff at the sites. Totally recommend as it’s an experience of a life time. Restrooms at locations are clean and well maintained as well. Admission for Adult SADC rate Three Rondavels: R50 God’s Window : R40 Lisbon Falls: R50 Graskop Gorge: R75 Bourke’s Luck potholes: R55
We had an amazing experience. They were very accommodating and knowledgeable. We saw a pride of about 10 lions. A couple of leopards. And many other wildlife. Our guide Becky was wonderful
We had spent a fortnight in Kruger and were initially worried that taking a day out for the Panorama Route tour might be a regret – but it was absolutely worth it. Our guide, Happy, was excellent – relaxed, friendly, and happy to follow our pace at each stop without rushing. He clearly loves his job, which made the day even more enjoyable. We visited three stunning waterfalls, plus the Blyde River Canyon, and WonderView, taking in all the highlights at a comfortable pace. Plus a very tasty pancake stop for lunch. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a well-run, personalised, and memorable day out!
Had a great time with our guide Jason. He told us so much about the Panorama Route en about South Africa. He drove very safe and was also very polite and helpful. We had a lunch stop in Graskop, which also was very nice.
The game drive was fantstic. We had a wonderful guide and spotted the Big Five on one day. Maybe a bit expensive, but worth the money we thought!
Amazing scenery so different after Kruger. Our drjver was informative and assisted us as to where we could walk. Potholes were amazing as were the Rondavelles.
The Panorama route scenery is a joy to behold. It is great to hear that our guides were informative and were able to assist you to your satisfaction.
The stops we did were amazing. The tour guide Bhekifa was very attentive to our wishes and explained us a lot about South Africa and the animals from Kuger National Park. After that we went to a nice restaurant where we could try out traditional african cuisine. Everything was very well organised.
Good afternoon. Thank you for the review. Bhekifa is a stand out guide whose knowledge and experience are appreciated by all who have the pleasure of being with him. We will convey the compliments to him.

Thank you for taking the time to review our services. We are fortunate to have a beautiful part of the country to show off. I will convey your comments to our guides as they thrive on positive guest reviews.
Our excellent guide, Bhakefa, gave us an outstanding tour of the panoramic route. It was a misty/cloudy day and he took the time to give us the best possible tour and still had the opportunity to visit every site of the mountain range and rivers. Gorgeous day with the best guide!
Thank you for the feedback. It is always great to receive feedback that our guests enjoyed the most of the experience even when the weather wasn't in their favour. Bhekifa is certainly a class above when it comes to guiding. He is an absolute asset to our company. We will convey your message to him too
Bhekifa was an amazing driver, tour guide, and person. He not only showed us the beautiful Panorama Route safely, but also gave us a true local's perspective on the land and the people. It made our tour and trip complete. Request Bhekifa as your guide! You won't go wrong.
Thank you for your amazing review! Bhekifa is a true ambassador for both our company and country, and a valued member of our team.
