We set off for a long drive to our next destination, Kruger National Park. We had multiple stops at small places along the way. The first one of note was The Three Rondavels, a natural feature that look like local traditional huts. It is part of the Blyde Canyon one of the worlds largest.

The vertical walls of the Blyde Canyon
There were wildflowers in abundance as it is very close to spring.
The Canyon is impressive. We have however found that the South Africans are a little like Texan's.
We knew that they were responsible for Jacarandas and Agapanthus but we have now discovered that we need to add Macadamias, Granny Smith apples and lots more to the list.
At another part of the Canyon we came to Bourke's Luck Potholes to commemorate a failed prospector. This series of potholes and waterfalls is especially impressive in the wet season. We were in the dry season but still a great spot.
Gail at the waterfalls. It was a sheer drop into a plunge pool at the bottom.

Just stunning scenery. And yet to think I thought SA was only responsible for springboks and proteas!
Lovely! Glad you didn't plunge into that pool!
