My sister and I couldn’t brag about this experience enough!! We loved it so much. Our guide was Gavin who was extremely knowledgeable not just about the views we were seeing but also the history of South Africa as well! 1000/10 we would do this again!!

Die Panorama Route ist wunderschön, das Highlight bietet der Blick auf die Three Rondavels. Unser Guide hat uns neben den Schauplätzen auch sehr viel über die südafrikanische Kultur und Vegetation erzählt.
