Taking a Road-Trip Along the Panorama Route

The Panorama Route in South Africa’s Mpumalanga Province is a popular road-trip destination. The area’s lush greenery and natural wonders attract thousands of tourists every year, and travellers with vehicles are able to make the most of the stretch of unspoiled beauty that the route offers.

The winding roads along the Panorama Route are well-maintained, making for a smooth road-trip. The route is surrounded by rolling green hills, and there are numerous look-out points where one can stop en route to take in the area’s scenery. Many of them offer breathtaking views of the valleys, ravines and forests in the area.

The Mac Mac Pools consist of several shallow pools with crystal-clear water, and are perfect for a refreshing swim after an invigorating day of exploration and adventure along the Panorama Route. There is also a picturesque picnic spot with barbeque facilities close to the Mac Mac Pools, and the area is easily accessible by car from the main road.

The Panorama Route has a number of cascading waterfalls that make for excellent photo-opportunities. The Mac Mac Falls are located three kilometers further up the Sabie River from the Mac Mac Pools, and are a popular attraction among travellers. The waterfall is easily accessible by car from the main road, and there is a viewing point towards the top of the waterfall that provides an excellent vantage point from which to view the majestic waterfall and the surrounding ravine.

God’s Window is a look-out point along the Panorama Route which offers visitors an idyllic view over the Lowveld and the escarpment in the mist belt. God’s Window has a number of viewing platforms that provide visitors with different perspectives from which to take in the breathtaking scenery.

The Bourke’s Luck Potholes, which mark the beginning of the Blyde River Canyon, are another natural wonder in the area. These massive cylindrical potholes in the bedrock of the Blyde River are a wonder to behold. There is a gravel road leading to the potholes which is easily accessible by car from the main road.

Pilgrim’s Rest is a historic town along the Panorama Route. One gets the sense that the town is frozen in time, as it has a number of well-preserved heritage sites. Pilgrim’s Rest also has a number of museums with collections of old wagons, horse-drawn carts and classic cars. The town is divided into an uptown section and a downtown section. The uptown section is busier than the downtown section, and most of the popular historic sites and tourist attractions are located uptown.

The Panorama Route runs along a landscape with several unique natural attractions. The Panorama Route’s excellent road network, flanked on either side by picturesque scenery, makes it the ideal destination for a road-trip.
