Bordering much of the 30km-long Blyde River Canyon, the 26,000-hectare Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve winds its way north from Graskop, following the Drakensberg Escarpment and meeting the Blyde River as it snakes down to the lowveld. The majority of visitors drive along the canyon’s edge, and there are plenty of viewpoints along the way where you can stop and gaze in awe. If you have enough time, however, the canyon is even better explored on foot.
