PHIRING A PARADISE ON THE PANORAMA ROUTE

Explore this hidden gem by hiking a 3,8 km linear return trail along a stream in a pristine, semi-riverine indigenous forest. View giant Outeniqua Yellowwood and Matumi trees and ancient, live tufa waterfalls as you traverse the magnificent wetlands near the rural village of Phiring.

Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your lodge and a drive along the towering rock formations of the Drakensberg, up the Abel Erasmus pass towards the Strydom tunnel. The pass leads you to the start of the Panorama Route, where, after a short distance, you turn off the beaten track towards Phiring village and its two main tourist attractions of Sekweneng, a living tufa waterfall, and Sethunyeng, a pristine riverine forest trail with unique rock formations.
