The quaint little town of Graskop serves as the gateway to this wonderful route. Panorama’s undoubtable highlight is the verdant splendour of Blyde River Canyon, one of the world's largest green canyons featuring lush subtropical vegetation. Some other popular natural attractions along the route include: the spectacular Lisbon, Berlin, and Mac Mac Falls, Bourke's Luck Potholes, the Three Rondavels and the astonishing God’s Window. Don’t miss the world-famous Kruger National Park and the picturesque gold rush town of Pilgrim's Rest, a historic living museum.

It is a unique sanctuary where nature enthusiasts can receive an unparalleled experience. At Moholoholo, one can observe the rehabilitation of various animals, ranging from antelope and birds to big cats.

Elephant Whispers

We invite you to experience...

The thrill of close encounters with the Majestic African Elephant.

African Elephants are at their most awe-inspiring in the wild, where these gentle giants can roam freely, interact with each other, and engage with their young. Their great intelligence, fascinating behaviour, and emotions like grief and empathy touch us deeply in helping us to relate, to feel, to heal, and to learn.

In an ideal world, African Elephants belong in the wild, however, the world we live in is less than ideal. Elephant Whispers have committed to providing a life-long safe haven for five rescued elephants urgently needing relocation, by opening an education and tourism venue located in Hazyview.

For those seeking a memorable wildlife encounter, elephant activities are an exciting, touching experience not to be missed.

From a wonderful interactive one-hour Elephant Interaction to walking with the elephants, or spending half a day with them; the Elephant Whispers Team looks forward to sharing the magic of the African Elephant with you.

Mpumalanga Helicopter Co.

Based in Hazyview, the Mpumalanga Helicopter Co offers breathtaking scenic flights, Rhino conservation excursions, air shuttles to world-renowned golf courses, and helicopter transfers and charters in the beautiful Mpumalanga Lowveld.
