All rights reserved. The Ultimate Road Trip: Johannesburg to Kruger En route between Johannesburg and Kruger National Park lies Blyde River Canyon National Park, a sublime wilderness characterized by sweeping vistas and geological curiosities, and surrounded by waterfalls and creaky prospecting towns. The undulating hill-folds of Long Tom Pass offer a taste of the epic scenery along the Panorama Route. From here, the major sights are all a short drive away.
When to go: The drier winter season May-August brings cooler temperatures and clearer vistas, while the rains of summer usher in wildflowers and increase the flow of waterfalls. Driving tips: While the roads are largely wide and well-maintained, there are occasional potholes along the Panorama Route which can be hard to spot at night and during fog and rain.
During adverse conditions, drive well below the speed limit. Share Tweet Email. Read This Next Wild parakeets have taken a liking to London.
