“Full-day tour along the spectacular Panorama Route: Blyde River Canyon, God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes, and Graskop.
About This Experience
The Panorama Route is one of the most beautiful drives in Africa — and this tour covers all the highlights. Marvel at God's Window, a 900-metre cliff offering views stretching to Mozambique on clear days. Visit Bourke's Luck Potholes, extraordinary cylindrical rock formations carved by swirling water over millennia. Gaze into the Blyde River Canyon — the third largest canyon in the world and the largest "green canyon" due to its lush vegetation. Stop at The Pinnacle, a towering quartzite column rising from dense forest. End in charming Graskop for the famous Harrie's Pancakes.
