0
(0)
The Panorama Route viewpoints offer a collection of scenic stops showcasing cliffs, valleys, forests, and distant lowlands across Mpumalanga. These viewpoints highlight the dramatic landscapes that make the route one of South Africa’s most famous drives. Most viewpoints are easily accessible from the road and require only short walks. They are ideal for travelers who want to enjoy wide views, take photographs, and pause during long drives.

What to See & Do

  • 🔭 Enjoy the highest panoramic views of the valleys and escarpments ⛰️
  • 📸 Photograph the sheer cliffs, dense forests, and the distant Lowveld plains 🎞️
  • 🦅 Watch for raptors and mountain birds soaring at eye level 🌬️
  • 🧘 Relax and breathe in the crisp, fresh mountain air at 1,730m 🍃
  • 🗺️ Experience a 180-degree vista that often sits above the clouds ☁️

How to Get There

Travel Tips
