The views were out of this world, particularly in the northern part of the Drakensberg escarpment with the amazing geological features of Bourke's luck potholes situated in the confluence of the Blyde and Treur rivers. We weren't so lucky with the God's window because of the low clouds making it impossible to see anything.

The Graskop Gorge lift Company (Pty) Ltd is the latest and most innovative tourism development in South Africa. Situated in Graskop Mpumalanga, along the Panorama Route, made famous for its natural beauty and world renowned viewing attractions such as God’s Window and the Blyde River Canyon. The Graskop Gorge Lift Company is your passage into the heart of one of Mpumalanga’s last forested wonderlands. Surrounded by towering cliffs cut back over time by the Motitsi river where its waters plummet 70m into the gorge below forming a natural barrier to all, except for the most adventurous. Your journey begins as you drop off the grassy cliff top plateau, in a custom designed 26 passenger viewing elevator, down along the cliff face descending into the cool mountain forest below. An extensive network of elevated walkways, suspension bridges and interactive exhibits will lead you along the forest trail, across the stream, keeping one engaged in this natural and pristine environment.

This is a great place to visit. A lot of work went into making this a world class, educational and relaxing experience of the forest and gorge floor. Well trained and friendly staff operating a well maintain and world class facility. We will most definitely recommend this place and return with family and friends.

A cool walk through the beautiful trees and stunning surrounds to the waterfall is amazing. The waterfall is beautiful. So calming, we truly have a beautiful country. Entrance fee is reasonable and there is safe parking. Bit of a drive though as the road is gravel and a bit bumpy. The tar road had many potholes. But definitely worth the drive. Ice cream available at the shop that has neat and clean seating.

Our last Kruger visit before flying back to Australia, and we thought we were early getting there at 6:20am... this is a popular gate, opening at 6am in September, it took approximately 40 minutes to get through the gate, get our visitor passes and go through security - either get there earlier or after queued early birds (possibly 7:30am). We saw at the day visitor area that there had been sightings of leopard, lion, elephant, water buffalo and rhino... We went in search of elephants and we were not disappointed - herds heading to the water, herds drinking and cooling down in the water, herds eating. It was hard to leave, seeing these beautiful creatures in the wild was on the bucket list, though the bucket keeps filling up with more elephant experiences!
