More About the Panorama Route

The small town of Sabie lies in the centre of the Panorama Route where you will find the Lone Creek River Lodge. Horse riding, hiking, fine country cuisine and the breathtaking views of the Sabie River valley are all on offer to enthrall you, the traveller.

If you are in search of the ultimate in luxury, Blue Mountain Lodge epitomises lavish comfort and privacy and is surrounded by unspoiled forests. One of our favourites is Dawson’s Game and Trout Lodge. Slightly off the beaten track, it is characterised by wide-open grassland teeming with herds of game indigenous to Southern Africa - a mini-Serengeti experience! Cybele Forest Lodge is arguably the most famous lodge in the area and is situated deep inside the cool mountain forests between Hazyview and White River. The tranquil surrounds along with the on-site health spa make it a treat for all the senses. For limited budgets and families, Hippo Hollow is an ideal choice. It is close to all the action, affordable and set alongside the Sabie River.

All accommodation along the Panorama Route is in close proximity to spectacular attractions such as the Blyde River Canyon, God’s Window, Pilgrim’s Rest and Bourkes Luck Potholes. This beautiful, temperate region is definitely worthy of inclusion into your itinerary.
