Blyde River Canyon
Blyde River Canyon cuts through the Mpumalanga escarpment and anchors the Panorama Route. Its best-known views look toward the rounded Three Rondavels above the gorge.

Keep exploring South Africa with our travel partners.
The canyon gives a clear view of the eastern escarpment's cliffs and greener slopes. The Three Rondavels make a memorable focal point, while nearby stops such as Bourke's Luck Potholes and God's Window show different effects of water and elevation on the same broader landscape.
What to look for
The Three Rondavels, rounded rock formations above the canyon.
Steep sandstone walls and green slopes along the escarpment.
Nearby Bourke's Luck Potholes on the wider Panorama Route.
Useful to know
Plan several Panorama Route viewpoints rather than treating the canyon as one stop.
Leave flexibility for changing visibility at the exposed escarpment lookouts.
