About this experience
Enjoy a unique perspective of the Blyde River Canyon. At 11h00, step aboard a flat-bottomed boat for an unforgettable boat cruise led by a qualified site guide. Discover the rare Kadishi Tufa Waterfall & enjoy sightings of hippos, crocs, primates, and a dazzling variety of birdlife. The Blyde Dam is the largest “green canyon” thanks to its vibrant foliage. After the cruise, enjoy lunch (own account) before heading to the top of the Panorama Route. Here, take in sweeping views of the Three Rondavels and gaze 800m down into the dam below — a truly awe-inspiring sight. The afternoon continues with stops at the majestic Lisbon Falls and the breathtaking Wonderview, offering endless panoramic vistas over the Lowveld towards Kruger Park and Mozambique. NB: Timings could change due to boat availability.
