After a wonderful three days at Kapama Nature Reserve, we spent a day touring the spectacular Blyde River Canyon, the 3rd largest canyon in the world, and considered the largest 'green' canyon. It was a great day of hiking and sightseeing.

On Sunday we spent a couple hours at the Lowfeld Botanical Gardens in Nelspruit before heading back west to Pretoria for an overnight and a Monday morning flight to Port Elizabeth.
We enjoyed the elevated walkways through the African Rainforest.
