This is your opportunity to see the famous Three Rondawels and the Blyde River Canyon from the angle it’s supposed to be seen: while you’re on the water, at the base of the towering mountains that form these breath-taking sights.
Blyde Canyon Safaris, together with the Moletele community, offer scenic boat trips on the Blyde Dam.
Tick off those last couple of birds that have been eluding your bird list and enjoy seeing the hippo’s and crocodiles that make this dam their home.
We are passionate about nature and preserving the few untouched pieces that remain in South Africa. We aim to offer everyone the opportunity to experience the beauty that the Lowveld has to offer.
We offer daily trips at 7am, 9am, 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Join one of our trips or book the entire boat for yourself. Private trips available for up to 20 guests.
