Panorama Route

Situated in Mpumalanga (a Province/State of South Africa), is one of our country’s top tourist destinations. Sometimes know as "Paradise Country", few regions in the world can match the beauty and diversity of the Lowveld (low fields) and Highveld (High ground, escarpment) areas of this region.

The Mpumalanga Tourism Board has created seven areas within the Mpumalanga region, with specially marked routes that invite the visitor to Mpumalanga province a journey through any of the seven regions.

The Panorama Route is one of our personal favourite travel destinations, and is best known for its dramatic landscapes, offering a vast array of options for any visitor including playing host to some great adrenalin activities. This route runs along the spectacular Blyde River Canyon and is probably one of the most beautiful and popular travel destinations in South Africa. It boasts to many attractions, waterfalls, historical sites and towns all worthy of a visit, whilst traveling the Abel Erasmus Pass there is the opportunity to see one of the rarest birds in the world known as the Taita Falcon.
