Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve
A deep green canyon cuts beneath Blyde River Canyon’s escarpment viewpoints. The reserve’s overlooks are spread apart, making a road-based viewpoint plan more useful than a single stop.

Keep exploring South Africa with our travel partners.
The green canyon and high escarpment viewpoints are the draw at Blyde River Canyon. Since the sites sit apart, choose a managed overlook and plan to travel between viewpoints by road. Moving between viewpoints reveals different angles on the canyon and makes its scale easier to grasp than one quick roadside glance.
