A PANORAMIC STOP: THE THREE RONDAVELS

Sesuai namanya, Panorama Route di Mpumalanga, Afrika Selatan benar-benar memberikan pemandangan indah di berbagai area. Sulit untuk tidak melihat keluar dan menikmati pemandangan saat menyusuri Panorama Route dengan mobil. 

As the name implies, the Panorama Route in Mpumalanga, South Africa really gives a beautiful view on a wide range of areas. It's hard not to look out and enjoy the view while traveling along the Panorama Route by car.

Two of the Three Rondavels

Namun ada satu viewpoint yang wajib jadi tempat pemberhentian untuk menikmati pemandangan spektakuler bukit dengan bentuk unik di antara kehijauan. The Three Rondavels memang tampak seperti bentuk rumah tradisional Afrika (rondavels) yang berbentuk membulat dengan atap, dan kemiripan itulah yang menjadi nama area perbukitan dengan bentuk unik ini.

But there is a viewpoint that must be a halt to enjoy the spectacular view of the hill with a unique shape among the greenery. The Three rondavels did look like a form of traditional African houses (rondavels) shaped with rounded roof, and the resemblance that is the name of hilly area with this unique shape.

Dari viewpoint di ketinggian 1.380 meter di atas permukaan laut ini, kita dapat melihat dengan jelas struktur perbukitan The Three Rondavels, yang juga disebut The Three Sisters, di mana tiga struktur berbentuk rondavels ini diibaratkan sebagai tiga istri dari Maripi Mashile, Bapedi Chief yang berhasil mengalahkan suku Swazi yang meninvasi mereka di masa lampau. Bukit dengan bentuk flat di bagian atas dianggap sebagai representasi Mapjaneng (chief).

From the viewpoint at an altitude of 1,380 meters above sea level, we can clearly see the structure of The Three Rondavels hills, which is also called The Three Sisters, where the three-shaped structure rondavels is described as the three wives of Maripi Mashile, Bapedi Chief who defeated Swazi tribe who invaded them in the past. The hill with a flat shape at the top regarded as a representation of Mapjaneng (chief).

Ada satu hal lagi yang akan menarik perhatian kita di viewpoint The Three Rondavels, yaitu jajaran kios-kios kecil yang menjual berbagai pernak-pernik khas Afrika Selatan, mulai dari souvenirs, tas, kalung hingga kain berbagai corak, I really want to look around longer but unfortunately we didn't have much time for shopping (this is between bad and good - for my wallet haha).

There is one more thing that will attract our attention in the viewpoint of The Three Rondavels, which ranks small kiosks that sell a variety of South African knick-knacks, ranging from souvenirs, bags, necklaces until the fabric of various patterns, I really want to look around longer but unfortunately we did not have much time for shopping (this is between bad and good - for my wallet haha).

 

It's always nice to stop and enjoy the view, also amazing to see how creative the mighty up above is..
