The well-known Panorama Route starts nearly immediately after leaving Lydenburg, close to where the Long Tom Pass begins, making the town a popular destination for tourists.
In addition to farming, trout fishing, and mining being among the most well-known industries of Mashishing (formerly Lydenburg), the town is also of historical importance.
Andries Potgieter, a notable Voortrekker commander, founded Lydenburg in the year 1850. Even for a short while, it was the seat of government for what was then known as the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek.
We provide daily shuttle services from Johannesburg to Lydenburg.
The Lydenburg Heads are sculptures made of hollow clay that are approximately 500 years old. These sculptures are on display at the Lydenburg Museum, which is on the “bucket list” of many people who are interested in history.
Safari Link Southern Africa provides a shuttle service that runs daily between the O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and Mashishing/Lydenburg in the province of Mpumalanga.
As you make your way from the Highveld to the Lowveld districts of South Africa, you will be able to experience some of the country’s most breath-taking landscapes.
The shuttle leaves Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport at 07:00 and travels to Mashishing / Lydenburg via Emalahleni (formerly known as Witbank), eMakhazeni (previously known as Belfast), and Emnothweni (previously known as Dullstroom).
Visitors will notice that even though these are the officially sanctioned new names, the old names are still frequently used in common parlance.
The transfer takes around four to six hours, and there are several convenience stops along the way where passengers can use the restrooms and purchase refreshments before resuming their journey.
This daily shuttle service travels the same route from Mashishing / Lydenburg in the opposite direction.
The shuttle reaches O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg at approximately 17:15.
