Blyde River Canyon
BOAT CRUISE
BLYDE RIVER CANYON
Enjoy the splendour of the third largest Canyon in the world.
Unquestionably being the largest ‘green canyon’ due to its lush Subtropical foliage. An interpretation tour by a tour guide will take you to the rare living Kadishi Tufa waterfall and the Three Rondawels. An abundance of wildlife will keep you distracted while learning more about the natural history of the Blyde Canyon.
Possibly the best view in the whole of the Blyde River Canyon is of the “Three Rondawels”, huge, round rocks, thought to be reminiscent of the houses or huts of the indigenous people, known as rondawels.

Jessica
L'Hyppopotame
Jessica
the hippo
The visit is dedicated to the life and wellbeing of a very special creature named Jessica, a 18-year old female Hippopotamus.
What makes Jessica so special and unique, is the fact that she's a wild animal that interacts with humans in a rather different way than nature has intended.
It is well believed that Hippos are some of the most dangerous and fearsome creatures in Africa and there are many accounts of Hippos attacking (and killing) people who invade their space or disrupt their routines. With this animal, this is definitely not the case since she loves interaction with humans and she displays mind-boggling characteristics which makes us wonder about our approach towards wild animals.
