Panorama Route: Direction of the trip and return options

Hi there, We’ll have about 7 hours (11:30 AM to 6 PM) to do the Panorama Route with an overnight stay near Graskop. My question is: - Is that a bit tight, and would it be better to head back up toward Hoedspruit to do the route in the opposite direction before our flight, maybe revisiting some spots we might’ve rushed through? - Or is it smarter to take a route we haven’t done yet, like heading down to Nelspruit via Hazyview? But here’s the thing—are there things to see or new landscapes on that road, considering we’ll have already done Kruger, Blyde (Ballule), and Manyeleti? Thanks for your help—I can’t decide since I don’t know what’s worth seeing there... Have a great day, and thanks for any quick replies—we need to book our flight tickets soon! Dan

Is it better to head back via Hoedspruit to do the route in the opposite direction before flying out, and maybe revisit some spots we might have rushed through?

yes

Thanks Michel! Is the Graskop/Nelspruit road not great? Or is 7 hours too tight for the Panorama Route? Just for info, sorry for asking for clarification. Dan

Graskop to Nelspruit = not great

Hello everyone, Sure, I think like the other members of this forum— 7 hours just isn’t enough. There are so many spots to see... the well-known ones like the rondavels, the potholes, God’s Window, Graskop Lift, and the waterfalls that are easy to access from the road. But you’ve also got a ton of lesser-known waterfalls, like Horseshoe Falls or Bridal Veil Falls near Sabie, which are totally worth the detour.
