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.

Blyde Canyon Boat Cruise
We had such a wonderful time on the Blyde River safari. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and everything was done professionally, providing us with just the right amount of information on the areas and species we saw. We were able to spot a few crocs and hippos which made it even more special. So good to be able to explore a South African gem! - Jillian
Loved the trip. Our guide was good and I never tire of this trip with it's significant views - Karine
Amazing scenery and excellent guide, who spotted animals and give a lot of history of the surroundings. - Suné
We bring all our guests to the Blyde Dam Boat Cruise and everyone always thoroughly enjoys the experience. The staff are knowledgeable and great spotters for wildlife and birds that reside at the dam. Highly recommend! - Kurt
Beautiful experience with friendly staff. Only 2 "critique" points - there's no shop (so take your water and snacks if you need to) I also understand that a shop might bring issues with baboons. So no shop is also understandable. - the night before, I was contacted to ask if I booked. Luckily the issue was sorted with no drama. Again: beautiful experience! I would highly recommend it as an activity when visiting the area - Bronwen
