The day
For guests based in Nelspruit or arriving that morning. A full day that puts the Blyde River Canyon at its heart, with the potholes, the viewpoints and a boat option on the dam below the Three Rondavels.
Blyde River Canyon is the third largest in the world and the greenest of them all, and from Nelspruit you reach the best of it comfortably in a day. We add the option of a boat cruise on the Blydepoort Dam, which puts you under the Three Rondavels looking up rather than on the rim looking down. It is the view most visitors never see.
