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.

We really enjoyed the tour, the guide was very friendly and informative. We had great sightings of the hippos, crocodiles, even a baby croc, a leguaan, a giant kingfisher and other birds. The rock formations are amazing with the face in the mountain with the waterfall been super special. The way the light came through the mountains, it felt like another world. Will definitely recommend this to others. - Theresa

We had an amazing time at the Blyde river canyon boat cruise. It was worth our money spent. Breathtaking scenery and amazing views of nature, made the boat cruise interesting and worthwhile. I love the seating arrangement, spacious and definitely did not feel overcrowded. The guide was very much appreciated as he informed us about interesting things concerning the Blyde River nature. The whole experience was amazing and it's definitely an activity I'd do again and recommend to someone else. Great hospitality and easy check in as well! - Shaheedah
