Blyde dam boat trips open and compliant to Covid regulations
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.

Amazing experience with a great guide. Such beautiful scenery. - Nadine
We had the most memorable experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and so friendly and professional. We had a wonderful sighting of a malachite kingfisher; we saw crocodiles basking in the sunshine; we went very close to Hippo's and so cormorants. The scenery is absolutely incredible and this trip was one of our highlights from our holiday. Thank you. - Joanne
