Blyde Canyon Safaris, together with the Moletele community, offer scenic boat trips on the Blyde Dam. 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 breathtaking sights. 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 run several activities and excursions and through our sister company, Blyde Adventure Camp, adventure and leadership camps for large groups.
We offer daily trips at 9am, 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Join one of our trips or book the entire boat for yourself. Use our friendly online booking system on this website, or contact our office to make your booking.

Amazing experience -- we enjoyed every minute of this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the fauna and flora of the area, and we felt comfortable asking any questions. They also had a great sense of humour, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We saw incredible animals, and the waterfall was absolutely breathtaking. This is definitely something we would do again when we're back in the area. - Emile
Amazing cruise with so many amazing views it doesn't even feel like you're still in South Africa and so many background stories from the guides. Book the cruise you won't regret it. - Thalente
Me and my family had a great time visiting the Blyde river Canyon, it was a beautiful experience and we enjoyed every moment from it. Our tour guide was very informative, friendly and funny at the same time and he answered all the questions that he was asked. The Canyon is so beautiful and majestic, the waterfalls are magical and seeing the three Rondavels from the bottom was one of our highlights, the boat was so steady in the water, the kids enjoyed the ride also seeing the crocodiles and hippos in the water. I'll definitely recommend this experience to anyone who visits Mpumalanga. - Lulama
