The Panorama Route is the premier attraction in Mpumalanga after the Kruger National Park. It offers breathtaking scenic drives with a mix of natural wonders, adventure activities, and cultural experiences. Whether you're a nature lover, thrill-seeker, or history enthusiast, there’s something for everyone along this iconic route. 

 

Most visitors only scratch the surface due to time limitations. This page aims to provide the most comprehensive list of things to do on the panorama route for travellers looking for beautiful South African landscapes and to explore the diverse activities on the Panorama Route.

 

Are a local looking for something new to do? Visiting Mpumalanga from Gauteng a second time and need fresh perspectives? An overseas visitor looking for off the beaten path sights? You’ll find a panorama route activity you did not know about here.

 

We’ve labelled activities as “open” or “closed” to the best of our knowledge, but please call the operator and check for yourself if they are still operating and their operating hours. Things change, and we don’t want you to take a long detour for nothing!

Panorama Route Map

 

If you are unfamiliar with the panorama route layout, please see this map of the Panorama Route. You can pick up a physical copy at KLCBT Visitor Centres (notably in White River Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre and Nelspruit Crossing). The route is a figure 8 and thus is tricky to cover in its entirety in one go, this list will help you in planning. Download a pdf version of the Panorama Route Map here.
