Panorama Route Tour

The route starts at Hazyview and rises to the southernmost tip of the Blyde River Canyon and the town of Graskop.

We take visitors to observation spots along the escarpment's edge, where they may enjoy breathtaking views of the Three Rondawels, Gods Window, and Wonder View.

We will stop along the way at the well-known Bourkes Luck Potholes, which are deep cylindrical caverns at the meeting point of the Blyde and Treur Rivers that were created by thousands of years of water erosion.

The trip will return to Graskop at midday so that visitors may eat at a restaurant. We'll stop at the stunning Berlin Falls and Lisbon Falls on the way back to Hazyview, which is close to Graskop, where a number of waterfalls cascade down the slopes.
