Tucked away along the western border of Kruger National Park, a piece of paradise awaits.

You'll peer carefully at the waterholes in hopes of spotting leopards and hippos. After the morning safari, breakfast back at the lodge will be a welcome must.

Experience the Panorama Route
Today, the impressive Panorama Route is on the agenda. Beautiful natural wonders, waterfalls, and breathtakingly beautiful vistas live up to the name of this route. We visit as many viewpoints and sensational landscapes in the area of the Panorama Route as possible. There is much to see, so we have lunch on the way. When the day is done, you return to the lodge, where you enjoy an appetizing evening meal lovingly prepared by our chefs. The Panorama Route runs along one of the largest forested areas in the northeastern province of Mpumalanga and centers around the Blyde River Canyon, the third-largest canyon in the world. The route begins at the foot of the Long Tom Pass, descends to the Lowveld Plains, and ends near the border with the Limpopo province. Along the route, you'll come across multiple waterfalls and a few unique natural phenomena, such as the Bourke's Luck Potholes rock formations, the grass-covered mountains of The Three Rondavels, and the God's Window lockout point.
