The world's largest – and most majestic – green canyon
The Blyde River Canyon is one of the world’s largest canyons and a must-visit destination in South Africa. Located within the 29.000 ha Blyde River Canyon Reserve and part of the Panorama Route, the canyon stands out from canyons like the Grand Canyon and Fish River Canyon for being green with subtropical vegetation. Take a drive on Route 532 as it winds along the edge of the canyon, stopping at scenic stops and lookout points en route. From the top of the canyon, visitors can enjoy eagle-eye views for miles over the Lowveld. This stunning natural site abounds in hiking, walking, mountain biking and horseriding trails with breathtaking views.
