Panorama Route

A day trip to the 3rd largest canyon in the world. Visit the Blyde River Canyon, Bourke's Luck potholes, God's Window and the rainforest at the top of the mountain. Lunch on delicious pancakes after browsing in one of the best art & craft shops in South Africa. For the energetic there are numerous walks around some spectacular waterfalls.

Take a 1½ hour boat trip to view the spectacular 200m high Kadishi Tufa Waterfall - one of Africa's largest active tufa falls - and marvel at the dam wall and famous Three Rondavels rock formation. A treat for the senses and packed with information, you can also expect to see crocodiles, hippos, kudus, waterbuck, bushbuck, duikers, baboons, monkeys and possible even some leopard. Listen out for the achingly beautiful call of the fish eagle while you drink in one of the most beautiful places this country has to offer. With over 500 birds recorded in this area, it is a choice destination for birders. Here you may spot the brownheaded parrot, purplecrested loerie and its close relative, the Knysna loerie, chorister robin and olive bush shrike, to name a few.

The Lowveld, while world-famous for its big game, is also home to considerably more than half of the total species of southern African birds. More than 500 such species are found on the flats alone. However, these are augmented by even more specialised bird species from the forests and cliffs along the Drakensberg escarpment, which forms the Lowveld's western boundary. Complementing the Lowveld's exciting mammals, many of the rarest and most beautiful of South African birds are found in the Hoedspruit District.
