One of the most popular add-on’s for travellers who have just completed a Kruger National Park safari is to explore the Panorama Route in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.

Known as one of South Africa’s most scenic paths, the Panorama Route ventures through the Mpumalanga highlands, or the north-eastern section of the Great Escarpment of the Drakensberg.

The Panorama Route is also home to the world-renowned Blyde River Canyon, the third largest canyon in the world.

Nº 141 O #BlydeRiverCanyon é um dos maiores cânions do mundo, uma das mais belas atrações da #ÁfricadoSul e vizinho do Parque Nacional #Kruger, devendo a visita ser feita em conjunto com os famosos safáris. A melhor forma de explorar é com seu próprio carro, parando nas diversas atrações e vistas do cânion e de seu entorno, na chamada #PanoramaRoute. #SouthAfrica #Mpumalanga #canyon
