Panorama Route
The Panorama Route is in Mpumalanga and is an area rich in natural wonders and beauty. Its main highlights include Bourke's Luck Potholes, amazing rock formations created millions of years ago, God's Window with its fabulous views across forests and game reserves to the mountains beyond and Blyde River Canyon, the third largest canyon of its kind in the world, with views over the Klein Drakensberg escparment. The reserve here is home to abundant wildlife. There are several nature reserves on the Panorama Route and a number of impressive waterfalls. Also on the Panorama Route are Echo Caves. Discovered by a local farmer in the 1920s, the cave system covers some 40 kilometres and one of the rooms is 60 metres high. It is one of the oldest caves in the world. The caves get the name from the practice of local people using on of the stalactites as a drum to warn of approaching enemies.Accommodation
