Helicopter trip to Blyde River Canyon
Helicopter transfer to Leopard Hills via lunch on a pinnacle at Blyde River Canyon and a visit to the Elephant Orphanage.
This exhilarating helicopter flight swoops over deep mysterious gorges, shadowing meandering rivers and exploring lush valleys bursting with vegetation and colour. The dramatic views of cascading waterfalls and sheer cliffs present a treasure of magnificent photographic possibilities. We experience a stunning eagle’s eye view of the breathtaking Lisbon Falls plummeting down a 92-metre precipice in four torrents before flying over the legendary Cascade, Berlin, Mac-Mac and Forest Falls.
The flight continued along the escarpment revealing spectacular views of the Panorama Gorge and soaring over the fascinating rock formations of the 1 000-metre-deep, 30-kilometre-long Blyde River Canyon. The impressive Pinnacle and curious Three Rondawels provide the perfect finale before landing at the ultimate picnic site on the mountain. We then indulged in a delicious picnic accompanied by fine South African sparkling wine whilst soaking up the endless vistas of the glorious Mpumalanga Lowveld.
After lunch we took the helicopter again to Elephant Whispers.
