Posted by Imogen Searra on 8 March 2020

The Panorama Route was voted one of the Most Scenic Drives in the World by international travel site, Big 7 Travel. Chapman Peak Drive also secured a spot.

Mpumalanga’s Panorama Route takes travellers around the north-eastern section of the Great Escarpment of the Drakensberg. Popular with local and foreign tourists for its close proximity to the Kruger National Park. It is the ultimate road trip route.

The Panorama Route scooped up 47th place and Chapman’s Peak Drive placed 40th.

‘Densely wooded forests and breathtaking canyons are just a couple of sights you’ll encounter on South Africa’s Panorama Route. This awe-inspiring route links many of the countries cultural points and natural wonders. Be sure to stop off to admire the world’s third-largest canyon – Blyde River Canyon,’ said Big 7 Travel.

‘Serving as a gateway between Cape Town and the South Peninsula, Chapman’s Peak offers up some of the most stunning views on the planet. Wind along the cliffs and take in the wide-open ocean and far off mountains. This winding road features 114 twists and turns meaning a beautiful view the entire way,’ said the company about Chapmans Peak Drive.
