Description

The Blyde River Canyon is one of South Africa's geological wonders, its 26 kilometres of red sandstone mountains surrounding a body of water scenically breathtaking and lushly green. One of the largest canyons on earth, Mpumalanga claims this beauty is the largest green canyon in the world because of the density of the subtropical vegetation that wraps the bulk of the precipitous cliffs. Overshadowed by the intense scenic wonder of the Blyde River Canyon, the canyon's Kadishi tufa waterfall is just as marvellous. Hidden at the end of the Blyde Dam, it is one of few rare living tufa waterfalls in the world and is said to be the second highest tufa waterfall in the world, dropping 200 metres from its limestone shelf to the water of the Blydepoort Dam.
