3 Natural Wonders in South Africa That You Have to See to Believe

South Africa is home to some of the most urban cities on the African continent, but that’s not stopping it from being a true natural marvel. The list of its natural wonders that you have to explore is pretty much endless, and these three are a good place to start.

Blyde River Canyon

Known as the “green canyon” due to the lush greenery that covers its sandstone cliffs, the Blyde River Canyon offers the adventure of a lifetime. Bourke’s Luck Potholes and the Three Rondavels are two of its most popular attractions, and they perfectly encapsulate the geological richness of this canyon.

Table Mountain

This flat-topped mountain in Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most popular attractions for a reason. Enjoying it from the distance is amazing enough on its own, but the real magic happens once you get striking views at Lion’s Head, Signal Hill, Devil’s Peak, and other surrounding attractions.
