On our way to Swadini Forever Resort we did the Panoramic Route stopping at the waterfalls, lookouts and at Gods Window, Bourkes Luck pot holes and The Three Rondawels. Beware of pot holes on the road on the route. It is necessary to pay a small amount to gain access to some of the sights. Pensioner rates available. The views and sights are well worth the trip...spectacular!! The Blyde Canyon is breathtaking. At each stop there are numerous woman with their little stalls selling a variety of curios and mementos. They are mostly willing to negotiate a price! Most of the toilet facilities are clean. The Pot holes has a small resturant or you can picnic! A beautiful route which impressed our...
