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.

Bushbucks are antelopes with geometrically shaped white patches or spots on the most mobile parts of the body—the ears, chin, tail, legs, and neck. Bushbucks need some water but can subsist on dew if necessary. Foods vary in different habitats, with leguminous herbs and shrubs making up most of the diet. They may also eat grass, fallen fruit, acacia pods, tubers, bark, and flowers.

Black-backed jackals have a dark saddle on the back, which runs from the nape of the neck to the base of the tail. They have a black, bushy tail and reddish flanks and limbs; standing about 400 mm at the shoulder and a meter in total length. The adult males are on average larger and heavier than females. Males have a mean mass of about 8 kg and females, 7 kg. The black-backed jackal is lighter in appearance than the side-striped jackal.
