God's window situated on the Drakensberg escarpment in Mpumalanga. Just one look down and you will begin to understand why it is called "God's Window".The View from God's Window has inspired and awed thousands of painters and photographers from all over the world.
It has 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.
It is so called for the panoramic view of the Lowveld more than 900 m down into 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. The best lookout points and exotic forest plants, steer away from the crowds and hike up into the clouds and the misty Rain Forest. Be sure you take a few refreshments along as it is very humid and an extremely steep and strenuous walk. God's Window and Graskop are perfect en-route stopping points for those visiting the Kruger National Park.
There are curio stalls and toilet facilities at the parking area. For just R10 one can witness one of the most magnificent sites in South Africa. God's Window is truly a popular sight and for good reason! One can spend hours here just admiring the unsurpassed scenery.
