Lanner Gorge, Protected area in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
The Lanner Gorge stretches for 11 kilometers through sandstone cliffs, reaching depths of 150 meters where the Luvuvhu River flows through the landscape.
The geological formation contains Triassic and Jurassic sandstones, with dinosaur fossils discovered within its walls dating back millions of years.
The adjacent archeological site of Thulamela reveals the presence of ancient civilizations, while the surrounding Makuleke area contains evidence of human activity from 1.5 million years ago.
Access to Lanner Gorge requires staying at private lodges within the Makuleke Reserve, with guided tours available from Pafuri Camp for wildlife observation.
The gorge derives its name from the high concentration of lanner falcons nesting in the cliffs, sharing the habitat with crocodiles, hippos, and leopards.
