Review of the Blyde River Canyon tour from Nelspruit, with God's Window, waterfalls, viewpoints, transport, costs, and practical booking advice.
“The driver/tour guide was not at all knowledgeable, despite saying he had done this tour for several years. He did not know basic information and was rushing the tour (with only the 2 of us on it) all day. When we had asked him to stop for a Read more”

Spend two days exploring Blyde River Canyon, waterfalls, and Kruger on guided game drives with meals, a tented camp, and hotel pickup.
“Awesome guide, Colin, was a delight from Nelspruit for activities along the way to Kruger National Park. Our night safari had a much different feel than our day safari. Guides especially Fiso were all we hoped for and helped us find more than 60 animal species. Worth the cost of the tour!”

Review the 9-hour Panorama Route tour from Hoedspruit, with Blyde Canyon, Three Rondavels, waterfalls, God's Window, and Graskop lunch.
“We booked last minute even knowing the forecast was rainy and still had a great day. They were able to pick us up at our resort which made for an easy day. The sights were beautiful and they were flexible given the weather - even changed our return drive route and made it possible to stop at the rondavels again when the weather had cleared. Our guide, Blessing, was friendly and knowledgeable answering our many questions and was genuinely excited to share the beauty of this area with us. If you go in the rainy/cloudy weather, god’s window and the rondavels may not work out but the potholes and falls…”
See God's Window, Bourke's Luck potholes, Three Rondavels, and cruise Blyde River Canyon from Hazyview on this full-day outing.
“The guide begins by telling us that the trip takes 10 and not 8 hours as indicated. Then he doesn't stop at God's Window where the trip would otherwise start... When we get to the boat there are two more hours, it sails... When we ask how it is that we have to wait so long and why we haven't stopped at God's Window, the guide refuses to answer and just says it's our own fault... Really sad experience. We didn't get what we paid for and instead wasted several hours for nothing.”
Cruise Blyde Dam, watch for hippos and crocodiles, then visit Moholoholo Rehab Centre on a guided day trip from Hazyview.
“Adrian was our guide and he did a great job getting us to the Moholoholo Rehab Centre where we got to see so many animals and birds of the region. This is such a worthwhile effort to help save injured or orphaned animals and, if possible, Read more”
