“I was told it was not going to work, who will visit a lift in a forest? I chose not to listen and we went ahead and since we open our doors we have had over 500 000 visitors. Don’t let anyone who has not built anything tell you it wont work.”
Those are the words of Oupa Pilane, a self-made entrepreneur, tourism development consultant, local government specialist, business coach, and preacher who is intently focused on organisational, personal, tourism and business development.
He’s the co-founder of Graskop Gorge Lift, a tourist attraction site which is centrally located on the Panorama Route in the Mpumalanga Province.

The Graskop Gorge Lift was officially launched in late 2017, it offers visitors a chance to view the stunning landscape from a breathtaking height, as well as immerse themselves into the depths of the gorge to experience the walkways and waterfalls that hide at the mountains’ base.
