My second favourite stop on the Panaroma Route. The views around the time of golden hour for sunset are very spectacular. So peaceful and only a 5 min walk from the carpark. Down in the valley below is a lake. Apparently the Australian version of 'Im a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' is filmed in the canyon below. Keep a look out for birds.

The views are beautiful. There’s a nice place to grab some food inside too.

BREATH TAKING!!! Very beautiful view of the canyon. Simply amazing. A trip highlight.

A must-visit spot when exploring Mpumalanga. The views will leave you speechless.

This place is as everyone stated. I saved an image for my profile pic I enjoyed it that much. It's a colorful, picturesque landscape that is also quite peaceful and relaxing. Toured it twice from above and then the river cruise. I did miss God's window due to intense fog. Make sure you check the weather conditions. Highly recommended.

I'm still reeling from the breathtaking beauty of the Blyde River Canyon! As the last stop on my Panorama Route journey, it exceeded all expectations and left me speechless. The sheer scale and majesty of this natural wonder is awe-inspiring, with lush subtropical vegetation and towering cliffs that seem to stretch on forever. Standing at the edge, I felt tiny in comparison, and the panoramic views took my breath away. I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced its beauty

For many South Africans, the Sabie area, God’s Window, and the Three Rondavels are familiar and well-loved destinations. However, for international visitors, I highly recommend making the Blyde River Canyon region a priority. The viewpoint overlooking the Three Rondavels is truly breathtaking and offers one of the most iconic landscapes in the country. The formation is named the “Three Rondavels” because the three rock structures resemble traditional African rondavel huts—rounded, hut-like shapes that look like three natural “houses” carved into the landscape. It is a unique and memorable sight, and an essential stop for anyone exploring South Africa. Make sure to include this remarkable area in your travel plans when visiting the country.

Loved it. Do you love the scent of petrol? Then this is your go-to area. I love road trips and raking them through kruger National Park , but I couldn't be safer. The food at their restaurants is perfect and well done , its fire, i must say. Too bad if you pass the curfew, you get a ticket as per a 15-minute delay. That's what the security told us. Just be on time and manage your time well if you are on a day visit.

It was very professional like the rest of the Kruger National Park yet friendly. Service was swift and helpful.

GREAT PLACE FOR CHILLING WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS 🥺❤️🔥....

Quick assistance to enter park, card facility does not work, always bring cash.

The best place to go with family we had a great time

Not a gate I would use again. The reason being that the road to the gate is through many communities resulting in a much longer trip than what is needed. Should you ever need to go to the north of Kruger either Travel through the park via Phalaborwa gate or use Pafuri gate.

Thanks to the gate team for helping us navigate around the Service Delivery protest. Much appreciated

Nice and small airport with just 1 terminal each for departure and arrivals. Few nice shops to look upto some African artifacts and clothings. Best part is it’s not crowded and check-in and baggage becomes very quick.

This airport is a purpose built one for the Kruger national Park visitors, and is about 90 minutes drive from the park. The airport looks more like a 4 star hotel, with lovely interior design. Lots of parking spaces, not busy. Lots of cafes around, one of them has excellent coffee and tea with non dairy offerings. Security staff are friendly and helpful. Overall not busy airport in the mornings.

Average boring small airport but it is clean, spacious, not crowded and all staff are firendly and helpful and it is comfortable welcoming with safari theme.

Most definitely, the most beautiful smaller airport in the world. Well managed and maintained with friendly and professional staff. It is always a pleasure to fly to or from KMIA. With its bush lodge atmosphere, waiting for departure with a cup of coffee, completely ensure a relaxing airport experience.

A very small airport with beautiful gifts. A very nice restaurant where you can enjoy a meals and see the planes land while you wait. Toilets are very clean. It is easy to access and park. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely airport beautiful views.. Friendly service

Lovely little modern airport with African style decor and a straw roof. Everything is compact, clean, and well-organized. There are 2 security lines, 1 baggage carousel, and 2 airline departure 2 gates. There's a Bidvest Lounge before security and at least 2 car rental counters.

Excellent safari team, housekeeping and kitchen staff.

Was always my dream to come to Kruger. Now that I’m here it’s not something that you can imagine or even watch You have to actually come here to see it. So many interesting things. Incredible

Relaxed atmosphere, nice rondawals with bath on suite. Good food. Book extra activities like a sunset drive. They have their own guides and game drive vehicles. Friendly and competent staff.

The reserve is nice. Very similar to the Kruger just with a few more private lodges. The animals weren't too skittish. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

There are several private concessions that form part of the Greater Kruger National Park, one being the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. During our visit we stayed at the Motswari Private Game Reserve (reviewed separately) which I can highly recommend. It is good to note that you need to stay at one of the lodges within the Timbavati/Klaserie/Umbabat to be able to enter the park. We had an amazing array of sightings, as all the animals found within the Kurger National Park can be found here, including an up-close sighting of a leopard within a river bed. The Timbavati also has a large range if bio-diverse regions to explore depending on the lodge you are staying at and the staff at the Enkhulu gate, where we entered, were very friendly and took nature conservation extremely seriously.

Nada como verlos en su hábitat natural y escucharlos rugir 🐾🦁 . El mejor lente para ir de Safari es uno que tenga un buen zoom!! Así puedes capturar cada detalle 🦁 The Timbavati Game Reserve is located at the border line between Hoedspruit in (Limpopo) and Acornhoek in (Mpumalanga), north of the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve on the western edge of Kruger National Park. Geographically and politically, Timbavati is located in Mpumalanga Province. In Xitsonga, the name 'Timbavati' means "the place where something sacred came down to Earth from the Heavens," and refers to the rare white lions of Timbavati

Leadwood private camp is a true bush gem . Patrick the ranger knowledge of the Bush is staggering. Thankyou for the special week .

Absolutely love the style of this restaurant. The open-air area is really refreshing and takes full advantage of the beautiful surrounds, and the dining area inside the train is classic and unique. The food was fresh, delicious, and satisfying, and the staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. The prices were decent, especially for the quality of the food.

We came here twice for dinner and once for breakfast. The food is super delicious! The selection of dishes and drinks is large and also innovative. Everyone will find something here! The portions are quite generous. Overall, the restaurant is very stylishly furnished. The prices are a bit higher than at the other restaurant in the camp, but it’s definitely worth eating here!

Interest game food menu and everything is tasty and not too pricy. An awesome city restaurant with everything you need and enjoy with a bar and amazing theme of the train station with wonderful stadf and great food in the safari is just what you need after a long day game viewing. Sometimes food can take up to 45min to arrive so be prepared. It is not fast food. Love this place.

Kruger Station in Skukuza is a real gem - the setting in the old railway station is unique and full of atmosphere. The food was excellent, with by far the best vegan selection we found anywhere in Kruger National Park. We especially loved the vegan make-your-own pizza, poke bowl with tofu and fresh brekky. Friendly staff and a relaxed vibe made the whole experience even better. We’d happily come back any time.

The location mimics a station. You can choose to be seated in an actual train, or on the terrace. The food was fantastic, as well as the service. We had the crocodile steak and the pulled bbq pizza.

They have an amazing range of food to try, their bar is fully stocked and the staff are super friendly. A must if you stop at Skukuza!

Enjoyed both a lunch (outside seating) and dinner (within the train) at the Station. They have great tasting food options with many dishes that are Asian inspired. The pizzas are great too. Super friendly staff (special shootout to Gratitude!!). They are slightly more expensive than the other restaurants in the Kruger park.

The stunning view from the Tindlovu Restaurant at Letaba Rest Camp alone makes it a must-visit while in the area. It has beautiful views over the great Letaba river where you can see different animals, including elephants, coming for a drink. We recently visited the restaurant for drinks, which were enjoyable. While I can't comment on the food, the service was friendly, but could be a bit more efficient. Next time I'm at Letaba, I'll definitely return to try the food as well.

The Letaba restaurant is outsourced and managed by Tindlovu Restaurants, the same operator as in several other Kruger camps. The location couldn’t be better — overlooking the river, it’s one of the most beautiful settings anywhere in the park. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The interior still shows the old Mug & Bean design (they left in 2017) and really needs an update. We had dinner here on four consecutive nights. Every evening, many menu items were out of stock — half the appetizers unavailable, and out of 11 red wines, only 3 were left. The staff is friendly, but service is inconsistent and lacks attention. On the first night, we had to repeat our order several times before getting anything. The second evening went smoother, but by the third and fourth nights, orders arrived wrong, cold, or not as requested. When we mentioned it, the waitress just smiled and walked away. When the food actually arrived correctly and hot, it was tasty and well-prepared — so the kitchen can deliver good quality. But overall, the experience was frustrating. If you have the chance, you’re better off braaing at your rondavel and enjoying the view yourself rather than relying on this restaurant.

I barely give less than 4 stars,but.. The restaurant is nice, relatively fast service and friendly staff. I would even forgive getting rice as a side for steak instead of french fries. But the rumpsteak.. Thin. Tought. Cold when came to table.

Restaurant is in a prime location over looking the river. Saw lot of game in the river. The atmosphere was very friendly, and the staff were friendly too. Many options to choose from on the menu. However, service was quite slow, and the food came cold. They ran out of crocodile on the menu, which was their specialty. Overall, not a bad restaurant to go to, if you are coming through Letaba. Highly recommend their milkshakes.

Stayed 1 night at Letaba camp, had breakfast at the restaurant. No complaints, presentation and taste of the meals. Service was good and an amazing view over the river.

We have their scone every year. Service was very poor, the waiter did not bring cheese with the scone and no butter. I had to run around for butter and cheese. I feel to pay so much for food, and still run around after the staff for the correct portion is unacceptable for such a basic order.

The resturant is a beautifully African themed mix of modern and old fashioned decor set on the banks of the Letaba river. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The food is really good and the wide variety of options available make the experience even better. Would definitely recommend.

We ordered two cakes. They were the same cake you can buy at the supermarket. The cake was as hard as a rock. The waitress didn't take our complaint seriously and even wanted a tip, which we, of course, didn't give. A very bad experience.

The Tindlovu restaurant at the Mopani Rest Camp has one of the best views in the park, overlooking the Pioneer dam. There is inside and outside seating (outside is covered by a roof). Although you have a good view from most tables, I recommend you try to get there before the lunch / dinner rush to get a table outside so as to take full advantage of the view. Their menu is very basic, but everything we tasted was pretty good and reasonably priced. Although our waitress was friendly, service was very slow and they weren't very attentive. Just for the view alone I would make a plan to visit again, even if just to grab something to drink.

Lovely view ,the food was ok but could be better, same for the service. We felt a bit like they don't try too hard as they have a captive audience. The restaurant needs a redesign with more outdoor space, please fix the air-conditioning and fridge (beers were not very cold)🙏

Food is delicious, especially their Breakfast, but the service is shocking, the staff either do not answer you or just grunt, so it is a guess to know if they have heard you. The place is in a shambles, with dirty dishes all over the "bar" area. There seems to be a lack of supervision, this can be seen in the amount of cobwebs all over the place. It is filthy and makes a person wonder if they conform to all the health department requirements. This place survives solely on the stunning location and the elephants who visit the dam to swim each day, without that attraction, this place would not survive - Grubby would best describe it, but the food is good and the location is brilliant.

The staff are generally not that welcoming. The lady who appears to be a manager or supervisor is rude and extremely unfriendly. The tables are always dirty and are also not in very good condition. There is no aircon so it gets really uncomfortable inside during summer. There is a really nice outside deck overlooking the water. The food is good, especially the burgers. If the staff were better and the place was clean I would give it a much better rating. I'm sure a new manager would make a huge difference.

My third time here and I love the food. Lots of tourists here.

Beautiful view is spoilt by very poor and rude service. Poorly managed restaurant.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch there with my dad our favorite lamb shank and mash - delicious! Dessert to share was Red valvet cake 🍰 so yummy!

I had a lovely time at this place . I loved their food , the drink & service. Book your table before showing up . It is one of the most popular hotel and restaurant in town .

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Bushveld Terrace every time we visit. The restaurant delivers a memorable culinary journey, every dish is exquisitely prepared, bursting with fresh flavours that celebrate both local and continental cuisine. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it perfect for a romantic evening or a family gathering. What truly sets Bushveld Terrace apart is the outstanding staff. From the moment you arrive, the team greets you with genuine warmth and attentive smiles, going above and beyond to ensure every need is met. Service is seamless, professional, and personalised. It’s clear the staff take immense pride in making visitors feel special. Every detail, from the beautifully presented plates to the expert recommendations and thoughtful check-ins, contributes to an unforgettable dining experience. Bushveld Terrace is a rare gem where hospitality shines as brightly as the food. Highly recommended! Congrats to the owners and staff on creating the best restaurant in the area.

The food and drinks here are AMAZING! The staff is very friendly and attentive. Always checking in to see if everything is alright, even the Chef. Oh and the chocolate cheesecake is incredible! Loved breakfast and dinner here all 3 nights.

Top style location, waiters do their very best. However they have no clue about good food. Wine with ice cubes, meat was not the best. What a pitty. Fire the responsible food manager and try again. Parking lot should be separated from the restaurant.

Amazing vibes. Amazing food and such friendly service from Rea. Thank you so much.

It was my husband's birthday so we chose this special restaurant to celebrate. Starter Focassia: BEYOND amazing! Very disappointed with mains. Ordered ribeye which was as thin as minute stakes and very very very tough! We were not OK with paying almost R300 per plate for a plate of food not worth R100. The waiters were so friendly and understanding and we ordered burgers instead. Honestly the best burger we had in a very long time. What disappointed me was that the manager came to talk to us and wanted to find a "middeweg". I agreed to paying for one burger and one steak to avoid conflict on my husband's birthday. But I dont feel it is OK that a four star restaurant serves very tough and very thin (def not the size indicated on the menu) and then asks the customer to pay for a very unenjoyble meal which wont even be served at less accomplished establishments without being able to eat it. Saying that, I still have to compliment the waiters, the amazing ambience and the burgers which was super!

Penny was extremely friendly and hospitable. Thanks, Penny. The fig and pecan pancake was tasty, the scones were tasty, but it needed to cool down sufficiently before serving. The place was full, but still a lovely atmosphere, nice soft music in the background as well.

Quick Takeaways 🥞 Clean, tidy, and well-presented restaurant with a wide pancake selection 😊 Friendly, English-speaking staff and quick service 🚗 Plenty of on-street parking and clean toilet facilities 📶 Good WiFi and a solid range of drinks available 🥩 Includes a small biltong shop selling water, sweets, chutneys, and other local items 🍽️ The Bobotie pancake was excellent — rich, flavourful, and highly recommended 💰 Prices are reasonable; ideal for a quick, satisfying bite Full Review The restaurant is clean, tidy, and well presented, offering a comfortable and welcoming setting. There’s a good variety of pancakes to choose from, catering to both savoury and sweet tastes. Service was prompt and friendly — as is typical across South Africa, the staff spoke excellent English and were warm and attentive. There’s plenty of on-road parking, and the restaurant provides reliable WiFi, clean toilets, and a decent drinks selection. A nice extra touch is the adjoining biltong shop, which also sells small essentials like bottled water, sweets, chutneys, and local snacks. I ordered the Bobotie pancake, and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly spiced, full of flavour, and so good I could have happily eaten another. It’s a great spot to stop for a quick and affordable meal, and I left thoroughly impressed by both the food and the friendly atmosphere.

I'm a sucker for pancakes and these were THE best I've ever had. They are light and fluffy, but also thick! They are between a flapjack and the traditional thin pancake, but they still manage to be airy and tasty. I hope to find a recipe for them, but I reckon Harrie's will always do it better! The jaffles are also delicious and are well-stocked with filling. Would highly recommend. If you are particularly hungry, a jaffle followed by a pancake for dessert will definitely satisfy, but either one will fill you up too! The prices are very reasonable and the staff are exceptionally friendly and efficient. Will definitely rush back when I'm in the area again!

Great food and service at Harrie's Pancakes. Graskop is a tourist town en route to Kruger National Park so deals with large groups and busloads. Despite this the service is fast and staff friendly and attentive. Loved the wood fireplace. I ordered a butternut and feta jaffle R120 which was tasty and served as an old school jaffle iron style. It came with a side of chips which had a nice seasoning on it. The sweet capsicum sauce was especially good. There is a small Biltong deli as part of the cafe and good toilet facilities. Also loved the portrait photos of the staff on the wall. Great lunch stop!

A friend recommended the Nutella pancakes at Harrie’s, and they exceeded every expectation. Rich, indulgent, and perfectly balanced, it’s one of those treats that’s beyond describing, you simply have to taste it yourself. Just a tip: order only one, because it’s incredibly filling! An absolute recommendation for anyone passing by, you won’t regret it.

We stopped here during our Panorama Tour and the pancakes were amazing. We tried one sweet (cinnamon, sugar, banana, and caramel sauce) and one savory (chicken, mushrooms, and cashews) - both were absolutely delicious! Mango juice was also great!

We were really looking forward to this place after hearing the tour guide rave about it, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype. The food was very poor, the beer was warm, and we received the wrong meals. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. If you’re visiting this town, I’d recommend exploring other options—there are plenty of better places around.
