Itinerary and highlights
A full day out with our professional guide showing the Panorama views
Visit the start of the third largest CanyonBourke's Luck Potholes
Bourke's Luck Potholes, were named after prospector Tom Bourke who discovered alluvial gold in the are during the late 1880's Their formation is a natural phenomenon created by the swirling river water. They are found at the source of the third largest canyon in the world, the Blyde River canyon in Mpumalanga.
Located approximately 35 km north of the town of Graskop, the site has grown in popularity as one of the province's best tourist destinations. The potholes which lie at the confluence of the Treur and Blyde rivers, were formed millions of years ago by the swirling of sand and pebbles, which resulted in the carving of the potholes into the underlying riverbed.
The Three Rondavels view point are at the beginning (or end) of the spectacular Blyde River Canyon drive on Mpumalanga's Panorama Route. Shaped like traditional African beehive huts, the Three Rondavels form three huge pinnacles of rock rising above the canyon below. Once known as the Three Sisters, these geological formations are one of the many natural highlights along Mpumalanga's Panorama Route.When you stand on the viewpoint, 1 380m above sea level with the Blyde River Canyon below, you'll still be looking up at those three distinctive peaks which tower 700m above the surrounding countryside. Be surefooted at the viewpoint, especially as there's no rail. Expect spectacular African sunsets if you're there as the sun goes down.
Lisbon Falls is the highest and most dramatic waterfall at a striking 90m high, forming part of the “Waterfalls Tour†to the north of Graskop, along the Panorama Route in Mpumalanga. The waterfall is named after the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, which is also the name of a large farm in the area. The other waterfalls along the route include Horseshoe Falls, Lone Creek Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, MacMac Falls, Maria Shires Falls, and the Berlin Falls.
The Lisbon Falls lies within the Panorama Route where you can visit other popular attractions like God’s Window, Blyde River Canyon, the Pinnacle, and Bourke’s Luck Potholes.
