Striking
Lisbon Falls is the highest and most dramatic waterfall at a striking 90m high, forming part of the “Waterfalls Tour” to the north of Graskop, along with the Panorama Route in Mpumalanga. The waterfall is named after the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, which is also the name of a large farm in the area. The other waterfalls along the route include Horseshoe Falls, Lone Creek Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, MacMac Falls, Maria Shires Falls, and the Berlin Falls. The Lisbon Falls lies within the Panorama Route where you can visit other popular attractions like God’s Window, Blyde River Canyon, the Pinnacle, and Bourke’s Luck Potholes.
Content
Bushveld is a rather loose term and refers to the areas of mixed woodland between 1 000m and 1 500m above sea level. It is the main vegetation type in Mpumalanga and extends into Gauteng, the Northwest Province, Limpopo, parts of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. It is the biome, or vegetation type, most commonly associated with wildlife and where you will find most of the game viewing destinations. It is this area that South Africans have in mind when they dream of heading off ‘into the bush’.
