Panorama Route

The Panorama Route is the scenic thread that connects many of Mpumalanga’s most photographed sites, and it makes an ideal addition for travelers looking to break up the drive between Kruger and Johannesburg or the coast. Along the way, guests encounter the Three Rondavels, the lush Lisbon and Berlin Falls, and the striking rock formations at Bourke’s Luck Potholes, each stop offering a different texture of South Africa’s highveld scenery.

What makes the route special is how easily it fits into a broader itinerary. A half day or full day along this stretch delivers waterfalls, canyon views, and forested valleys without requiring a significant detour, making it a natural complement to a Kruger or Panorama-area stay rather than a separate undertaking.

For travelers who appreciate a good view and a good story behind it, local guides along the route bring history and geology to life in ways that make the stops feel far richer than a simple photo opportunity.
