SHOP, SNACK & STROLL

In a day, you can explore numerous curio shops and galleries, with Curio d’Afrique stocking some serious collectors’ pieces. Africa Silks stocks a large range of linen, cushions and clothing.

Panorama Lodge just beyond the Lift on the R533 to Hazyview has the best view of the Graskop Gorge, and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The recently re-launched and signposted Jock of the Bushveld hiking trail outside Graskop takes you on a 4km walk to Fairy Land, a group of weathered rocks that have been given fanciful names such as the Seahorse and the Tortoise, and to the area where Sir Percy Fitzpatrick camped during summer at what he called Paradise Camp.
