Panorama Chalets and Rest Camp

Assess your own appetite for adventure and then head for the Graskop Gorge viewing area, five minutes’ walk away. Glide 51 metres down into the gorge in the glass lift, walk along elevated walkways and bridges or get adrenaline rushing on the Big Swing or the 80-metre zipline. Beyond this, there are lots of hiking trails from Graskop, and activity centres in town can sort days of abseiling, horse riding and rafting for more adventure. The Long Tom mountain toboggan is 45 minutes away for those who fancy hurtling downhill at high speed. Charge up the camera and head out to snap pics of some of the area’s finest natural views – Wonder View, God's Window, Pinnacle Rock and the Berlin and Lisbon Falls are all within a 15-minute drive, and Bourke's Luck Potholes are half an hour away. If you’ve got more time on your hands (and the patience to await the arrival of the big beasts), enter the Kruger National Park via the Phabeni Gate (45 minutes).
