Dullstroom

Dullstroom (also known as Emnothweni) is a charming high-altitude village in Mpumalanga, South Africa, renowned for its cool climate, scenic landscapes, and thriving trout-fishing culture.

Pilgrim rest

Pilgrim’s Rest is a charming living museum of South Africa’s gold rush era, nestled on the Panorama Route in Mpumalanga. Originally founded in 1873 after gold was discovered, it quickly grew into a bustling diggings town, home to some 1,500 prospectors by 1874

Sabie

Sabie is a charming forestry and tourism town in Mpumalanga, South Africa, nestled along the banks of the Sabie River at about 1,066 m above sea level Its name comes from the Xitsonga word “Sava”, meaning “sand”, a nod to the area's sandy riverbeds.

Originally founded during the 1870s gold rush by explorers like H.T. Glynn and J.C. Ingle, Sabie later transitioned into one of the world’s largest man-made forestry regions, thanks to pioneering reforestation efforts in the 1870s to replenish trees used in gold mining. Today, forestry remains its main industry, while tourism thrives due to the lush plantations, stunning waterfalls, and its malaria-free high-altitude setting.

God’s Window

God’s Window is a celebrated vantage point on South Africa’s Panorama Route in Mpumalanga, perched on the edge of the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve. Standing at an elevation of around 1,700–1,800 m, this dramatic escarpment offers sweeping “God’s Eye” views over the lush Lowveld below—a scene so breathtaking that, on clear days, you can even glimpse the Kruger National Park and distant Mozambican mountains

Bourke’s luck Potholes

Bourke’s Luck Potholes are a stunning geological marvel situated along the Panorama Route in Mpumalanga, South Africa. These extraordinary cylindrical rock formations were carved over millennia by powerful whirlpools at the confluence of the Treur (“River of Sorrow”) and Blyde (“River of Joy”) Rivers, sculpting deep, cauldron-like potholes in the sandstone bedrock. Named after gold prospector Tom Bourke, who ironically found no gold here, the site marks the start of the majestic Blyde River Canyon

Three rondavels

The Three Rondavels are three distinctive, round mountain peaks overlooking the northern section of the Blyde River Canyon in Mpumalanga’s Panorama Route. Named for the traditional “rondavel” huts, their cone-shaped forms rise dramatically above the canyon, with a flat-topped peak nearby known as Mapjaneng (“the Chief”) accompanied by the three Rondavels—Magabolie, Mogoladikwe, and Maseroto—after the wives of the Bapedi Chief Maripi Mashile
