God’s Window Budget Safaris

God’s Window budget safaris attractions include one of the most scenic vantage points along the Panorama Route and no brochure can prepare visitors for the spectacular sight.

Viewing sights are provided along the length and there are numerous walks, hikes, horse and mountain bike trails. For some of the best views take a hike up into the clouds through the misty Rain Forest. Take a few snacks with, especially water. It is very humid and extremely steep and strenuous.

God’s Window is a great stopover for budget travel, especially for nature lovers and photographers, with spectacular views at minimal cost.

It is apparently called God's Window because it is so beautiful that when God wakes up in the morning it is the first view he wants to see.
