Family white water rafting
Family days out and vacations don't have to mean soul destroying traffic jams on the motorway or fights over the only camp bed. And, in truth, reading the excellent tips on Been there for great family getaways won't necessarily turn yours into the Brady Bunch. But it could bring you one step closer to family trip Nirvana or at least show you what you're missing.

    The Panorama Route

    Posted by mamamunho 24 November 2009

    This drive takes you through pine forests and dramatic mountain scenery, via Sabie and Graskop. The old gold mining village of Pilgrim's Rest is also worth a visit. Along the way, there are many signposted waterfalls close to the road (admittedly not very big at times of low rainfall but still a good opportunity to have a short walk with gorgeous views). God's Window is a popular look-out place with spectacular views on a clear day. Along the way, there are many interesting rock formations (The Pinnacle, The Three Rondavels and Bourke's Luck potholes).

    You have to pay a small charge to visit some of the waterfalls and also at Bourke's Luck Potholes. There are plenty of picnic spots but the cafes and pancake houses of Graskop are a popular alternative.
