Gods Window is so called for the panoramic view of the Lowveld more than 900 m down into the 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! 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.

The Umhlanga Coast is a magnificent stretch of the South African shoreline. It shows off the splendour and wonder of this country in a tranquil display that remains extremely powerful. This is part of KwaZulu-Natal and is very close to the city centre of Durban, which is the province’s main city and one of South Africa’s major metropolises. However, the Umhlanga Coast whisks you away from the bustle of city living and to the peaceful prettiness of the Indian Ocean as it lazily dances onto the sand.

Mathekenyane

Mathekenyane Hill, or Koppie, (385m), lies 10 km from Skukuza on the H1-1 and is one of a series of hills that goes from Bushbuckridge eastwards to Skukuza. It is an excellent game viewing point that provides stunning views of the bush. There are a number of granite koppies that protrude sharply from the gently undulating landscape – these are a series of inselbergs that run in an east-to-west direction across central southern Kruger. One of these is Mathekenyane Koppie (also known as Granokop), which offers wonderful views of the escarpment to the west and the landmarks of Ship Mountain, Legogote and Pretoriuskop. Mathekenyane means “place of the sand flea”.
