Safari from Graskop

Graskop is the escarpment gateway for Blyde River Canyon and the Panorama Route before the descent to Hazyview.

It keeps the canyon and highland landscape visible as a distinct stage rather than reducing the route to a transfer into Kruger.

Cloud and mist can obscure escarpment views; summer rain changes waterfalls and roads while winter mornings can be cold.

The routed circuit arrives from Mbombela by the western approach and then follows the Panorama corridor south through Graskop toward Hazyview.
