Panorama Route Tour from Kruger National Park
Discover one of Mpumalanga’s most scenic day tours with Mthunzi Safaris and Transfers. Our Panorama Route Tour takes you from the Kruger area into a landscape of dramatic viewpoints, waterfalls, mountain passes, forested valleys and unforgettable natural landmarks.
This guided scenic tour is ideal for guests who want to experience more than a Kruger safari. While Kruger offers wildlife and bushveld, the Panorama Route offers mountain scenery, canyon views, waterfalls and some of South Africa’s most photographed viewpoints.
Choose between a Half Day Panorama Tour for a shorter scenic outing or a Full Day Panorama Tour for a more complete Panorama Route experience.
Choose Your Panorama Route Tour Option
This product includes two tour options so you can choose the experience that best suits your time, travel plans and budget.
The Half Day Panorama Tour is perfect for guests with limited time who still want to enjoy selected scenic highlights near Graskop and the surrounding Panorama Route area.
The Full Day Panorama Tour is the best option for guests who want a deeper and more complete sightseeing experience, with more time for viewpoints, waterfalls, photography stops and relaxed exploration along the route.
Half Day Panorama Tour
The Half Day Panorama Tour is designed for travellers who want a shorter scenic experience without rushing through the entire route. This option focuses on selected highlights and is ideal for guests who want to combine sightseeing with other activities during their stay.
Depending on weather, visibility, road conditions and available time, the Half Day Panorama Tour may include selected attractions such as:
- God’s Window
- Pinnacle Rock
- Lisbon Falls
- Berlin Falls
- Graskop
- Selected scenic viewpoints along the Panorama Route
This option is best for guests who want beautiful views, fresh mountain air and a relaxed scenic drive without committing to a full day on the road.
Full Day Panorama Tour
The Full Day Panorama Tour offers a more complete experience of Mpumalanga’s famous Panorama Route. This option gives you more time to enjoy the area’s major landmarks, take photographs, walk to viewpoints and experience the natural beauty of the escarpment at a comfortable pace.
Depending on the day’s conditions and the final route, the Full Day Panorama Tour may include selected attractions such as:
- God’s Window
- Lisbon Falls
- Berlin Falls
- Bourke’s Luck Potholes
- Three Rondavels
- Blyde River Canyon viewpoints
- Pinnacle Rock
- Graskop
- Optional local lunch stop
- Selected waterfalls and scenic viewpoints
The Full Day Panorama Tour is recommended for international visitors, first-time guests to Mpumalanga, couples, families and travellers who want a memorable sightseeing day outside Kruger National Park.
Discover the Panorama Route
The Panorama Route is one of Mpumalanga’s most impressive scenic drives. The route is known for its mountain views, deep valleys, waterfalls, rock formations and dramatic viewpoints overlooking the Lowveld and Blyde River Canyon area.
Unlike a Kruger safari, where the focus is wildlife viewing, the Panorama Route is about landscapes, photography, fresh air, geology and local scenery. It is the perfect add-on experience for guests staying near Kruger National Park who want to see another side of the region.
From misty viewpoints and green forest walks to canyon cliffs and waterfalls, the Panorama Route offers a slower, scenic travel experience that pairs beautifully with a Kruger safari itinerary.

Half Day vs Full Day Panorama Tour
The Half Day Panorama Tour is best if you want a shorter outing with selected highlights. It is easier to fit into a busy travel schedule and works well for guests who have limited time.
The Full Day Panorama Tour is best if you want to experience more of the route and visit a wider selection of attractions. This is the stronger option for first-time visitors who want the real Panorama Route experience.
If guests are unsure which one to choose, recommend the Full Day Panorama Tour. The Panorama Route is one of those products where rushing is a little criminal. The views deserve breathing room.
