Why this gateway?
It keeps the canyon and highland landscape visible as a distinct stage rather than reducing the route to a transfer into Kruger.
When to go
Cloud and mist can obscure escarpment views; summer rain changes waterfalls and roads while winter mornings can be cold.
Getting there
The routed circuit arrives from Mbombela by the western approach and then follows the Panorama corridor south through Graskop toward Hazyview.
Typical visit
One or more nights can support the canyon viewpoints and a measured drive through the escarpment landscape.
