Abel Erasmus Pass — Local services in Greater Tubatse Local Municipality

We have driven through Abel Erasmus Pass after leaving Greater Kruger National Park near Hoedspruit as part of our drive along the famous Panorama Route. From the north, the mountains are quite scenic, offering nice panoramic views and multi-colored rock face mountainsides, showing off their bright yellow, orange and other earth-tone shades on both sides of the Pass. We also enjoyed the nice sweeping river views as we approached and passed through the tunnel.

There are a few nice viewpoints to stop and have a look at the sweeping river views on the north and south side of the pass. Further, there are plenty of places to stop along the famous Panorama Route which starts just south of the Abel Erasmus Pass, going south in the direction of Graskop.
