Blyde River Canyon
Blyde River Canyon along South Africa’s hidden Panorama Route is a 160km scenic route in the province of Mpumalanga. Mpumalanga means “east” or more poetically “Place of the Rising Sun” in Zulu. This aptly named eastern province in South Africa is full of culture and beauty.
The area is a hub for hiking, waterfall viewing, and adventuring. The canyon is 26km long, making it one of the longest in the world. It is also the greenest. The Blyde River is home to plenty of wildlife including crocodiles, hippos, baboons, monkeys, antelope, and countless bird species.
Just 4 hours from Joburg, Blyde River Canyon is perfect for a long weekend or a full week road trip.
