 Blyde River Canyon provides some of South Africa’s most breathtaking scenery and is the third largest gorge in the world, after the Grand Canyon (USA) and Fish River Canyon (Namibia).
The 29,000-hectare (71,662-acre) reserve is home to a rich variety of wildlife including rare birds and lichens. At the heart of the nature reserve is the Blyde Dam, which provides a natural habitat for hippo and crocodile, whilst further afield, in the Lowveld plain at the entrance to the canyon, blue wildebeest, waterbuck and zebra can be seen. |
