Day 2 and 3
At 09h00 your hired car will be delivered to you and after a scrumptious breakfast at the hotel head off towards the undulating hills of the Mpumalanga province. Pass through the picturesque trout-fishing village of Dullstroom and continue to your homely luxury lodge just the other side of White River (three and a half hours drive). Oliver’s Restaurant and Lodge’s philosophy is to extend a warm welcome to anybody entering their little haven and to let them unwind in a peaceful and tranquil setting, spoil them with mouth-watering dishes together with professional, personalised and friendly service.
Oliver’s is a great base from which to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Panorama Route, a hauntingly beautiful landscape. It’s an area where highland meets lowland, an area of dramatic mountain scenery, of forested evergreen hills, thundering waterfalls and cool mountain streams. On your full day here enjoy a scenic drive to visit to Blyde River Canyon, God’s Window and Pinnacle Rock viewpoints, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and the historic gold mining town of Pilgrims Rest. Try to include an exciting optional hot air balloon flight or scenic helicopter flight over the Panorama Route. Both of these options are exhilarating experiences.
