Enjoy the splendour of the third largest Canyon in the world. Unquestionably being the largest ‘green canyon’ due to its lush Subtropical foliage. An interpretation tour by a tour guide will take you to the you to the rare living Kadishi Tufa waterfall and the Three Rondawels. An abundance of wildlife will keep you distracted while learning more about the natural history of the Blyde Canyon.
The Blyde River canyon supports large diversity of life, including numerous fish and antelope species as well as Hippos and Crocodiles, primate species and a diversity of birdlife such as the African Fish Eagle, African Finfoot and much more.
Possibly the best view in the whole of the Blyde River Canyon is of the “Three Rondavels”, huge, round rocks, thought to be reminiscent of the houses or huts of the indigenous people, known as rondavels. The Canyon is famous for the Kadishi Tufa waterfall. At 200m (around 660 feet) in height it is the second tallest Tufa waterfall on earth. In the case of the Kadishi Tufa fall, the formation that has been produced strikingly resembles a face which is crying profusely, and is thus sometimes known as the weeping face of nature.

I really enjoyed the boat cruise and learning more about the surrounding areas including the Blyde canyon river. Saw some animals along the way which was mesmerising and it was my birthday so it was connecting with nature. - Kgomotso
Een ontzettend leuke tour door de Blyde River Canyon! Onze gids spotte dieren al van grote afstand, vaak nog voordat wij ze zelf uberhaupt hadden gezien. Daarnaast wist hij ontzettend veel te vertellen over de dieren en de omgeving. Met zijn humor en enthousiasme zorgde hij voor een gezellige en ontspannen sfeer. Al met al een hele fijne ervaring en zeker een aanrader! - Kaylee
