Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve

We drove along the Panorama Route. The first place of interest on the way was at Three Rondavels. Here, you get a great view of the Blyde River Canyon, which is thought to be the third largest canyon on earth. It is a nature reserve with 1600 flora, 100 mammals, 94 reptiles, and 34 species of amphibians. It was very misty with low cloud hiding the peaks in front of us, but stunning nevertheless.

There were the usual stalls selling local souvenirs that you find at every beauty spot in Africa. At the start of such a long trip, we weren’t tempted to buy anything. Byrand, one of our group, treated himself to a bush hat suitable for the adventures to come.

We took our first group photo in front of the truck.Meer informatie
