The Escarpment from Above

As the helicopter approaches the escarpment, the scale of the landscape becomes clear. Rivers carve through ancient stone, sheer cliffs rise dramatically, and the Blyde River Canyon unfolds below - known for its lush subtropical vegetation and striking geological formations. Entering the canyon reveals layered rock faces and sweeping views across the Panorama Route, offering a powerful sense of depth and perspective.

The Experience

Guided by an experienced pilot, the flight follows a scenic route over pristine wilderness areas, where there may be opportunities to spot wildlife from above. The helicopter enters the canyon via the Blyderivierpoort Dam, offering an intimate view of this remarkable natural feature before returning.
