WHAT AWAITS YOU ON THE PANORAMA ROUTE?

The Panorama Route tour is home to breathtaking views and some of the most spectacular landscapes. The route in Mpumalanga is well known for its cultural heritage as well as its dramatic scenery. It is home to the Blyde River canyon which is the third largest canyon in the world and the largest green canyon in the world.

Another highlight of Nomad’s Panorama Route tour is God’s Window, a viewing spot on the escarpment of the Drakensberg with panoramic views across the Lowveld and more breathtaking views of the lush indigenous forested ravine 900m below. There is no doubt as to why it is called God’s Window.

The Panorama Route adventure also stops for you to appreciate Bourke’s Luck Potholes. This is one of the famous viewpoints and a great place for you to stretch your legs along the Panorama Route, and is also home to a beautiful and strange natural phenomenon. Over centuries the river water has eroded the rocks to form perfectly smooth potholes and strange sculptures.
