Drive the Panorama Route from Hazyview for an eight‑hour sweep of Mpumalanga’s escarpment: God’s Window, the Three Rondawels, and the swirling Bourke’s Luck Potholes. This day tour mixes short walks, geology-rich viewpoints, and a village lunch in Graskop.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air‑conditioned minibus at the edge of the escarpment and the Lowveld unfolds beneath you like a living map—deep green folds cut by the copper ribbon of the Blyde River. The guide sets a steady pace: short walks to cliff-edge viewpoints, a coffee stop in Graskop, then the echoing churn of water at Bourke’s Luck Potholes where ancient currents bored cylindrical hollows into basalt and quartzite.
