Graskop
An accommodation hub on the Panorama Route, close to God's Window and the gorge lift. Its signature stop is Harry's Pancakes.
Graskop is a town on the edge of the Mpumalanga Escarpment, founded as a gold-mining camp in the 1880s. Today it serves as the base for self-drivers on the Panorama Route and offers accommodation and supplies. It is convenient for trips north to Blyde River Canyon and Bourke's Luck Potholes, east to God's Window (about 10 kilometres), and south toward the waterfalls in the Sabie direction. The Graskop Gorge Lift is on the edge of town. On the main street, Harry's Pancakes is a long-established favourite that every visitor should try, and there are plenty of craft shops and cafés. The town sits at a high altitude, so it is noticeably cooler than Kruger in the mornings and evenings, and mist is common early in the day. It is best to wait until the mist clears before heading to the viewpoints. Driving from Phabeni Gate or Paul Kruger Gate in Kruger takes about one to one and a half hours.
