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

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.

Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve
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

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.
Bourkes' Luck Potholes
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.
Lone Creek Falls
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.
Graskop

Amazing Safari
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
K
A stunning day out
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!

Great day, great tour and great guide!
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.

Spotted the big five
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!

Private Panorama Tour
We wanted a private Panorama tour, and the owners of Tanamera Lodge arranged one for us with Elephant Herd. Our guide was Bhekifa Ngomane, who was amazing! He was engaging, knowledgeable, experienced, funny and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour, and a lot of it was thanks to Bhekifa (“Bheki”).

Very informative guide, amazing locations
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.

Gorgeous tour of the panoramic route with our wonderful guide, Bhekifa!
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!
