Activities and Attractions around Bananien Lodge

Mpumalanga Escarpment

The Mpumalanga Escarpment region is world renowned for its scenic splendors and beauty, with a host of waterfalls and majestic view points of the Lowveld below, as well as the Blyde River Canyon.

Mac Mac Falls

The twin 56m drop, the second highest in the region, was originally a single fall, but in their eagerness to get to gold, some miners tried to divert the falls below. An over enthusiastic application of dynamite created the second fall, but whether it helped to find more quantities of gold was not recorded.

Mac Mac Pools

These are naturally formed swimming pools, and also a very popular picnic spot. The Secretary-Bird Trail also starts at this point, a 1 – 2 hour walk, ranging from pristine forests to grasslands.

The Pinnacle

Located on the Panorama Route, this 30m high quartzite “needle” rises

dramatically out of the fern clad ravine, was created by the Ngwaritsane River, over countless millennia. To the right and below, the viewing plateau, from where you can see only the upper part eight waterfalls, which takes the river down approximately 450m in a series of alternating falls and cascades.

God’s Window

Dramatic views to the South and East from various strategically placed viewpoints. Overlooking the almost sheer 300m drop into an indigenous forest clad ravine. Being 250m higher than the pinnacle viewpoint, the total drop to the lands below is approx 750m.

Lisbon Falls

At 92m the Lisbon Falls are the highest in the area. The river splits into three parts as it plunges into the pool below.

Berlin Falls
