Today we moved westwards, out of the Kruger National Park and into the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve in the Drakensberg mountain range, on the border of the Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces. While exploring this scenic area we’ll be basing ourselves at the Forever Swadini Resort, located at the foot of a spectacular rock face.

Had the fortune to visit in 1966 before any fences or infrastructure. Got stuck climbing a cliff, under an overhang. Waited hours, fingers slipping from sweat, while pals drove around to find the top above me and rescued me by lowering a rope manufactured from bits of steel wire found in an old construction site! Unforgettable.
What a thrilling story Peter! Glad your friends could save you so that you could share the tale with us today. Thank you for that! It certainly gives a different perspective to an area so richly beautiful.
Love the Canyon! We did some running sessions near the Blyde River Wilderness lodge while having great views of this rock in the meantime. Unforgettable. Happy to be online again btw, took us a while to get Wifi in our Oz treehouse.
How nice to see you around de Wets Wild again Maurice!
Sounds like you’ve settled in nicely in Australia?
For a minute there I thought I was looking at Smithsonian Butte near Zion National Park, Utah. Beautiful!
A beautiful piece of South Africa that seems to be reminiscent of beautiful places all over the world!
Thanks for visiting with us again Kelly.
Very imposing image 🙂
It’s a beautiful place Sreejith, we’re only too glad to share!
Oh my, that is so beautiful!

Absolutely Lindy! Thanks for stopping by again!
Heaven on earth dear de Wets. Need I say that I’m envious? What an amazing vista. That incredible rock face just begging to be climbed. Imagine the view…….Enjoy to the fullest dear friends 😉

Thanks very much Joey!
I’m sure on a clear day you’ll be able to see all the way to Mozambique from up there!
You are fortunate to have so many places of natural beauty nearby.
We certainly are Rosemarie!
Wow! The rock face is so out of this world! I could just sit and look at it all day.
The photograph hardly does it justice Raroto! In real life it is as majestic a sight as you’ve ever seen.
I believe you! Has anyone ever climbed it?
Someone probably tried at some point, but it looks pretty darn impossible to me! 😉
Darem net so mooi plek daardie! Wens ek was daar op my motorfiets!
Dit is so Vosperdruiter! Dis vir ons ook n jammerte dat ons nie meer dikwels hier kan uitkom nie!
When I saw this picture, I thought it was of the Crazy Horse Monument in Crazy Horse South Dakota USA. The formation looks very much the same. http://crazyhorsememorial.org/photo-gallery/
Thanks Marsha!
