Situated on the Drakensberg escarpment in Mpumalanga is God's Window. Just one look down and you will begin to understand why it is called "God's Window". 

With magnificent views, canyons, rock formations and waterfalls, God's Window is truly an area of breathtaking scenic splendour. 

It is no wonder that Mpumalanga is known as Paradise Country! Gods Window is so called for the panoramic view of the Lowveld more than 900 m down into lush indigenous forest clad ravine. 

The majestic cliffs plunge over 700 meters to the Lowveld and the private game reserves which have made the area one of South Africa's main wildlife destinations. 

God's Window is a small part of a 250km long earthwork of sheer cliffs and extravagant beauty. 

One can observe the hills and forests as far as the eye can see. In fact, it seems as if one can see forever! Viewing sites are provided along the length of the spectacular Blyde River Canyon including God's Window, and there are numerous fantastic walks, hiking, horse and mountain bike trails. 

From the parking area a very steep stepped footpath along the edge of the escarpment leads to the actual view points. 

For the best lookout points and exotic forest plants, steer away from the crowds and hike up into the clouds and the misty Rain Forest. 

Make sure you take a few refreshments along as it is very humid and an extremely steep and strenuous walk. 

God's Window and Graskop are perfect en-route stopping points for those visiting the Kruger National Park.
