Itinerary

3 Night White River Mpumalanga – Self Drive

Day 1: White River

Travel via Dullstroom to Lydenburg and then along the Long Tom’s Pass, a very scenic road, to Sabie. There are several view sites on the Long Tom Pass, offering breathtaking views of the Sabie valley, more than a 1000m below. The highest point of the tarred road is 2150m above sea level. Pass through the town of Sabie continue to the magnificent Lone Creek Waterfall, a national monument, and a well-known landmark in the Sabie area, where the Sabie River pours over a 68-m cliff of trees, moss, and ferns. The waterfall is spectacular after heavy rainfall when the spray nurtures a rainforest. Further along we will stop at the Mac Mac Falls, two falls with beautiful views. The Mac Mac Falls national monument is 65 metres high. The waterfall was originally a single stream but when gold was discovered along the Mac Mac River, the diggers wanted to work along the rich, gold-bearing reef and used dynamite to divert the river. The explosion split the 65-metre-high waterfall into two streams. After your visit continue to White River where you will overnight.

Day 2: White River

This morning after breakfast, travel along the Panorama Route. Visit God’s Window and the scenic gorge with the Pinnacle Rock. God’s Window looks out over the Drakensberg escarpment dropping 1000m below, offering a view of the lowveld stretching out towards the Kruger National Park. Magnificent montane forest, canyons, rock formations and waterfalls can all be seen. Continue to the Lisbon and Berlin waterfalls. Next stop is Bourke’s Luck Potholes, the Potholes were named after a gold digger, Tom Burke, who staked a claim nearby. Although his claim did not produce a single ounce of gold, he correctly predicted that large gold deposits would be found in the area. This natural water feature marks the beginning of the Blyde River Canyon. Through countless eons the swirling whirlpools which occur as the Treur River plunges into the Blyde River caused waterborne sand and rock to grind huge, cylindrical potholes into the bedrock of the river. Further along stop at the Three Rondavels viewpoint for a spectacular view of the canyon before returning to the hotel.
