Project overview
About this development
Construction of the proposed Skywalk which is a cantilevered glass bottomed walkway that will be about 12m in length and 5m wide and will protrude from an elevated view point at the God’s Window site located on Farms De Houtbosch 503 KT and Portion 2 of Farm Lisbon 531 KT within the Thaba Chweu Local Municipality, in the Ehlanzeni District Municipality near Graskop and Pilgrim’s Towns, approximately 95km north of Nelspruit in Mpumalanga. This will provide a 360° panoramic view of the canyon and the surrounding area. The Skywalk will create the feeling of being suspended or hovering in the air. This will be achieved through the use of large glass panels on the floor and sides of the walkway. The Skywalk itself will be constructed using metal for strength and rigidity, and glass for transparency. As a result, the experience that will be created is one that is truly breath-taking and unique. The planned restaurant and shop area will provide visitors with food and refreshments. There will be a curio shop that will sell memorabilia of the area as well as arts and crafts from the local community. Estimated value R475 million. The GPS coordinates are 24°52'38.3"S 30°53'17.1"E
