Three Rondavels, Blyde River Canyon, South Africa
Three Rondavels, Blyde River Canyon, South Africa is our short movie about one of the most beautiful place in South Africa
La région de Mpumalanga, située l'Est de l'Afrique du Sud, concentre dans ses terres la majorité des sites naturels touristiques du pays : le parc Kruger bien sûr, une multitude de cascades, mais aussi le Blyde River Canyon, le troisième plus grand Canyon au monde.C'est dans ce panorama qu'on peut trouver les Three Rondavels, trois massifs rocheux qui culminent à 600 mètres de hauteur et qui surplombent la rivière.
Pour atteindre les Three Rondavels et les points de vue les plus connus, il faut passer par la R532 à l'Ouest du cayon.Sur la route il y a un arrêt officiel, celui ou tous les cars de touristes s'arrêtent, comprenant lui même plusieurs points de vue, puis deux ou trois autres view points qui offrent un angle de vue différent sur toute la vallée. (Upper Lookout, Lower Viewpoint, le Three Rondavels View Point, et le Lowveld View)
L'entrée sur le site principal côute 20 rands par personne, et on trouve sur place plein de locaux qui tiennent des stands ou l'on peut acheter toutes les babiolles traditionnelles africaines (tissus, statuettes etc...)
En passant par l'Est, en prenant la R531 ou la R40, on peut atteindre le canyon par le bas et faire des randonnées à travers les montagnes ou même prendre un bateau pour naviguer sur la Blyde River.
La vue depuis les Three Rondavels est vraiment magnifique mais il faut bien choisir son moment car les touristes sont très nombreux et débarquent par cars entiers, ce qui peut gacher un peu la visite.

Mpumalanga Vlog: Three Rondavels & Blyde River Canyon | South African YouTuber
GEOLOGICAL WONDER | Bourke's Luck Potholes, Sabie, Mpumalanga, South Africa Tourism
Bourke's Luck Potholes, were named after prospector Tom Bourke who discovered alluvial gold in the area during the late 1880's.Bourke's Luck Potholes is a magnificent natural attraction located along the Panorama Route, approximately 35 km north of the town of Graskop in Mpumalanga, and approximately a 20 minute drive from God's Window. This natural water feature marks the beginning of the Blyde River Canyon, the greenest and third largest canyon in the world, and has been formed by years and years of swirling whirlpools eroding holes into the bedrock of the Treur River.
Located approximately 35 km north of the town of Graskop, the site has grown in popularity as one of the province's best tourist destinations. The potholes which lie at the confluence of the Treur and Blyde rivers, were formed millions of years ago by the swirling of sand and pebbles, which resulted in the carving of the potholes into the underlying riverbed. Bourke's Luck Potholes also feature an interesting and informative visitors centre, which sheds light on the natural history of the region, as well as providing an introduction to the early inhabitants of the region, the San

Three Rondavels in Mpumalanga South Africa
God's window+Three Rondavels+Wonderview - Panorama Route
With magnificent views, canyons, rock formations and waterfalls, God's Window is truly an area of breathtaking scenic splendour. It is no wonder that Mpumalanga is known as Paradise Country.
Gods Window is so called for the panoramic view of the Lowveld more than 900 m down into lush indigenous forest clad ravine. The majestic cliffs plunge over 700 meters to the Lowveld and the private game reserves which have made the area one of South Africa's main wildlife destinations. God's Window is a small part of a 250km long earthwork of sheer cliffs and extravagant beauty. One can observe the hills and forests as far as the eye can see. In fact, it seems as if one can see forever!
Exactly as they sound, the Three Rondavels are three round mountain tops with slightly pointed tops, very similar to the traditional round or oval African homesteads made with local materials called rondavels. They are sometimes also called the Three Sisters (although this confuses them with a similar threesome visible from the N1 in the Free State lower down in the country).
Wonder View is the highest viewpoint on the Panorama Route and offers a 180 degree view over the Lowveld. The drop down to the Lowveld from the Panorama Route is approximately 900 m. On a clear day it is possible to see the Kruger National Park and the Lebombo mountain range in the distance.

From a review on Trip Advisor
Between God's Window and Bourke's Luck Potholes (which are in the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve), a little nook of splendor rests hidden in the valley. Driving on R532, keep your eyes open for a driveway on the right side of the road. There will be signs that say REAL SOUTH AFRICAN FOOD on either side of the drive. They're only open for lunch, and not on Mondays, so plan accordingly

Blyde River Canyon, Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve, Mpumalanga, Drakensberg, South Africa, Africa
The Blyde River Canyon is a significant natural feature of South Africa, located in Mpumalanga, and forming the northern part of the Drakensberg escarpment. It is 25 kilometres (16 mi) in length and is, on average, around 750 metres (2,461 ft) deep. The Blyderivierpoort Dam, when full, is at an altitude of 665 metres (2,182 ft). The Canyon consists mostly of red sandstone. The highest point of the canyon, Mariepskop, is 1,944 metres (6,378 ft) above sea level, whilst its lowest point where the river leaves the canyon is slightly less than 561 metres (1,841 ft) above sea level. This means that by some measure the Canyon is 1,383 metres (4,537 ft) deep. While it is difficult to compare canyons world-wide, Blyde River Canyon is one of the largest canyons on Earth, and it may be the largest 'green canyon' due to its lush subtropical foliage. It has some of the deepest precipitous cliffs of any canyon on the planet. It is the second largest canyon in Africa, after the Fish River Canyon, and is known as one of the great wonders of nature on the continent. Possibly the best view in the whole of the Blyde River Canyon is of the Three Rondavels, huge, round rocks, thought to be reminiscent of the houses or huts of the indigenous people, known as rondavels. This canyon is part of the Panorama route. This route starts at the town Graskop and includes God's Window, the Pinnacle and Bourke's Luck Potholes. Blyde means glad or happy in Dutch, a name derived from a voortrekkers' expedition. The 'happy river' was thus named in 1844, when Hendrik Potgieter and others returned safely from Delagoa Bay to the rest of their party of trekkers who had considered them dead. While still under this misapprehension they had named the nearby river where they had been encamped, Treurrivier, or 'mourning river'. The Blyde River canyon supports large diversity of life, including numerous fish and antelope species as well as Hippos and Crocodiles, and every primate species that may be seen in South Africa (including both Greater and Lesser Bush Babies, Vervet Monkeys and Samango Monkeys). The diversity of birdlife is similarly high, including the beautiful and much sought Narina Trogon as well as species such as the Cape Vulture, Black Eagle, Crowned Eagle, African Fish Eagle, Gymnogene, Jackal Buzzard, Whitebacked Vulture, Bald Ibis, African Finfoot, Knysna Lourie, Purple-crested Lourie, Gurney's Sugarbird, Malachite Sunbird, Cinnamon Dove, Emerald Cuckoo, Red-backed Mannikin, Golden-tailed Woodpecker, Olive Bush Shrike, Green Twinspot, Taita Falcons (very rarely sighted, a breeding pair lives in the nearby Abel Erasmus Pass), Cape Eagle Owl, White-faced Owl, Wood Owl, Peregrine Falcon, Black-breasted Snake Eagle, Wahlberg's Eagle, Long-crested Eagle, Jackal Buzzard, Lanner Falcon, Red-breasted Sparrowhawk, Rock Kestrel and others. At 200 metres (660 ft), the Kadishi Tufa waterfall is the second tallest tufa waterfall on earth. A tufa waterfall is formed when water running over dolomite rock absorbs calcium, and deposits rock formations more rapidly than they erode the surrounding rock. In the case of the Kadishi Tufa fall, the formation that has been produced strikingly resembles a face which is crying profusely, and is thus sometimes known as 'the weeping face of nature'. The Canyon and the surrounding Drakensberg escarpment is a very popular tourist region with a well-developed tourism industry supported by good public infrastructure.
