The Blyde River Canyon is a gorge known as a remarkable natural phenomenon. The gorge is approximately 26 kilometers long and about 800 meters deep. The high walls of the gorge are composed primarily of red sandstone, carved into the canyon by the Blyde River.
From the canyon, you can enjoy a unique view of the "Three Rondavels," three enormous round rocks that strongly resemble the round huts (rondavels) of indigenous peoples. This rock formation is also known as the "Chief and his Three Wives." Each peak is named after the three wives of a legendary chief.
You also have a beautiful view of the famous "Weeping Face," one of the few active tuff waterfalls in the world.
