The Panorama Region is known for its incessant desire to leave visitors enthralled and mesmerized by its unparalleled natural beauty and splendour.
The soothing and serene ambiance, the abundance of history, cultural heritage and imposing landscapes, make this region the unequivocal draw card into Mpumalanga province.
Comprising of the historical towns of Ohrigstad, Pilgrim's Rest, Sabie, Graskop and Hazyview (with Lydenburg and White River as gateways into the region) , the Panorama is indeed for both the adventurous at heart and those who just want to marvel at its scenic beauty. From white water river rafting, bungee jumping, gold panning, hot air ballooning, trout fishing, hiking, paragliding, mountain biking, bird watching to game viewing; this region has it all.
The Panorama Region has got an abundance of history, cultural heritage, wild life and enchanting landscapes.
Trails left behind by the pioneering Voortrekker's in Ohrigstad, Lydenburg and other areas feature prominently in the form of buildings such as schools, churches and monuments. Rock paintings in caves and artifacts like the Lydenburg Heads, are 'footprints' left by indigenous people eons ago as testimony to their existence.
The Echo Caves indeed reverberate the existence of tribes like the Pedi, Mapulane and Swazi who once reigned supreme in this area. At present the region is still a cradle of a rich cultural heritage, where one can immerse in the kaleidoscope of existing cultures.
Indelible marks left behind by early prospectors of the glittering and illusive stone (gold) in the museum town of Pilgrim's Rest is also a manifestation to the plethora of attractions in this divinely crafted area.
Majestic waterfalls in Graskop and Sabie, add more colour and splendour to the enthralling landscapes of the region. The Blyde River Canyon nature sanctuary is a haven to various plant and bird species and the spectacular scenic beauty and viewpoints make this canyon one of the most sought after.
In this region wild life can be seen in close proximity roaming in its natural habitat in game reserves dotted throughout the region or in the Kruger National Park which is just a stone throw away.
The Panorama Region truly offers a journey of discovery, that will leave one overwhelmed by the unfamiliarity of the familiar.
