Kwimeko enyakatho-ntshona yephondo laseMpumalanga ye-Afrika, i-Blyde River Canyon icingelwa ukuba yinkampani yesithathu enkulu kwihlabathi. Ukulinganisa ezili-16 iiekhilomitha / iikhilomitha ezili-25 ubude kunye nobubanzi malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-2,460 / 750 ububanzi, kwaye liyi-canyon enkulu yehlabathi. Inxalenye ye- Drakensberg escarpment kwaye ilandele indlela yoMlambo waseBlyde, owela phezu kweentaba ze-escarpment kwiDam Blyderivierpoort kunye ne-lowveld ephantsi.
Kwiindwendwe ezininzi eMzantsi Afrika, yile enye yeyona nto ibonakalayo kwaye enye yezona ndawo zibalaseleyo zelizwe eziza kubonelela.
Imvelaphi yeCanyon
I-geologically, imbali ye-canyon yaqala izigidi zeminyaka edlulileyo xa kwakhiwa i-Drakensberg escarpment njengokuba i-Gondwana yaqala ukuhlukana. Ngokuhamba kwexesha, umgca wokuqala wephutha owadala i-escarpment yanyuka phezulu ngenxa yentshukumo ye-geological kunye nokukhukhula, okwakhiwa kweentaba ezinqabileyo ezenza i-canyon ikhangeleke namhlanje. Ngoku kutshanje, i-canyon kunye ne-downveld yayo edibeneyo yenze indawo yokukhusela kunye nokulima okucebileyo kunye nezizathu zokuzingela izizukulwana ezingenakubalwa zabemi bomthonyama.
Ngowe-1844, uMlambo waseBlyde wabizwa liqela labalandeli baseDutch ababemise inkampu apho belindele amalungu eqela ukuba abuyele eDelagoa Bay (ngoku eyaziwa njengePaputo Bay, eMozambique).
Igama lithetha "uMlambo Wenjabulo" kwaye ibhekisela kulonwabo apho iqela lexesha elihambeleyo lamkelwa ekhaya. Baye bahamba ixesha elide kangangokuba babesweleka-ke ngenxa yoko uMfula iTurur, odibanisa noMlambo waseBlyde, wabizwa ngokuthi "uMlambo wosizi". Ngowe-1965, ihektha ezingama-29,000 ze-canyon kunye nommandla ojikelezile wawukhuselekile njengenxalenye yeBlyde River Canyon Nature Reserve.
Izilwanyana zaseBlyde
Olu khuselo luvumele iifama zasemhlabeni ukuba zikhule, zixhaswe ngoluhlu olumangalisayo lweendawo zokuhlala ezahlukeneyo ezifumaneka kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ezahlukeneyo kunye nobude bekanyon. Ukutsalwa kweziqhamo kunye nokubonelela kwamanzi kunceda ukutsala inani elikhulu lezilwanyana, kuquka i-klipspringer, i-reedbuck yeentaba, i-waterbuck, i-wildebeest kunye ne-kudu. Idama laseBlyderivierpoort likhaya lamagqabi kunye neengwenya, ngelixa zonke iintlobo ezinhlanu zezilwanyana zaseMzantsi Afrika zibonakala kwiBlyde River Canyon Nature Reserve.
Iintlobo ze-Avian zincinci kakhulu apha, okwenza uMlambo waseBlyde ube yindawo ekujoliswe kuzo kubahamba ngeentaka . Iingcali zibandakanya i-owl ye-Pel yokuloba kunye nomngcipheko obuthathaka obunokutsha, ngelixa iindawo eziphakamileyo ze-canyon zibonelela ngeemeko ezifanelekileyo zokuhlalisa i-kondomu yaseKapa. Ininzi eyaziwayo, inqolobane isekela indawo yaseMzantsi Afrika ezaliswayo kuphela ye-Taita falcon engaqhelekanga.
Eziphawulekayo
I-Blyde River Canyon iyaziwa kakhulu ngeendlela zayo eziphawulekayo ze-geological. Ezinye zazo zifumene isimo sengqondo ngokuzikhethela, kubandakanywa intlanzi ephezulu ye-canyon, i-Mariepskop kunye ne-Three Rondavels. I-yangaphambili inomxholo weemitha ezili-6 378 / 1,944 kwaye ibizwa ngokuba ngumphathi wekhulu le-19 uPulana uMalepe Mashile.
Oku kubhekiselele kwiisetyhula ezintathu, iintonga ezinjengotshani ezinjengezindlu zendabuko zabantu abemi bomthonyama kwaye zibizwa ngokuba ngabafazi abathathu baseMaripe. Indawo yokujonga kwi-Three Rondavels ithathwa njengenye yeyona ndawo.

Le ngqungquthela yendawo ibizwa ngokuba ngu-Tom Bourke, owamkholelwa ngegolide (ingaba imizamo yakhe yokuyifumana ayizange iphumelele). Ukugqithwa okugqithisileyo kwayo yonke into akungathandabuzekiyo iWindows Window, ebizwa ngokuba yinto efanayo efana nembono kaThixo kwiJardin yase-Eden.
Kutholakala kummandla osenxwemeni wendawo yokugcina indawo, iindawo zokujonga izinto ezibonakalayo zingabonakali, zibonelela i-vista engalibalekiyo kwi- Kruger National Park kwiindawo ezikude zaseLembombo kuMngcele waseMozambique.
Ezinye izinto ezigqwesileyo ziquka iimfesane ezininzi zamanzi. Enye yezona zidumileyo yiKadishi Tufa Waterfall, i-waterfall ephezulu ye-tufa ehlabathini kunye nekhaya "lokulila ubunzima bemvelo", eyenziwe ngamaphepha amanzi awela phezu kwamehlo afana nobuso bomntu.
Izinto Ezozenzayo kuMlambo waseBlyde
Indlela efanelekileyo yokufumana umxholo we-canyon's glory is to drive along the Panorama Route, edibanisa imibono yecawa yeyona ndawo-kuquka i-Three Rondavels, iWindows Window ne-Bourke's Luck Potholes. Qala kwidolophana elihle kakhulu laseGraskop uze ulandele i-R532 ngasentla ngasemva, ulandela izibhengezo ezibhalwe kuyo. Ngaphandle koko, iinqwelo zee-helicopter ze-canyon (njengalezo ezinikezwa yi-Kruger ye-Lion Sands Game Reserve), zinika umboniso ophezulu ongenakuze ulibaleke.
Imizila emininzi yokuhamba kwendawo ekhuselekileyo ikuvumela ukuba uhlolisise ngeenyawo. Ukuze ube nolwazi olunzulu ngokwenene, cinga ukujongana ne-Blyde River Canyon Hiking Trail, enqumla isiqingatha sendawo yokugcina indawo kunye namaphecana omhlaba wangasese. Kuthatha iintsuku ezintathu ukuya ezintlanu, kunye neendawo zokulala ebusuku ezinikezelwa ngoluhlu lwee-huts endleleni. Nangona unokuhamba ngomzila ngokwakho, indlela engcono kakhulu yokwenza njalo inesikhokelo esifana ne-Blyde River Safaris.
Enye inkampani inokuphinda ihlele uninzi lweminye imisebenzi, kuquka ukuhamba ngeebhayisikili, ukugibela ihashe, ukukhwabanisa, ukuloba i-fly, isibhakabhaka esibhakabhaka kunye nokuphakama kwe-scuba. I-Whitewater rafting kunye nohambo lwamanqanawa kwiBlyderivierspoort Dam nazo ziyaziwayo.
Uhlala phi
Ababhenkethi kwiBlyde River Canyon bachithwa ngokhetho ngokubhekiselele kwiindawo zokuhlala, ezinokukhetha okuvela kwiihostels ezifikelelekayo ukuya kwiindawo zokuhlala ezithandwayo. Ezinye zeendlela ezikhethiweyo ziquka iThaba Tsweni Lodge, i-Pilgrim's Rest and House yeVVangati. Kutholakale kumgama olula wokuhamba kweNtaba yaseMzentown yaseBerlin, iThaba Tsweni iyinkqubo yeenkwenkwezi ezi-3 kunye neendawo zokutya zokutya kunye nezidlo zaseMzantsi Afrika ezifumanekayo ukulandelwa kwangaphambili. Le ndawo iyakuthandwa ngokukhethekileyo ngokukwazi ukulungiselela imisebenzi yeendwendwe zayo, ezininzi zazo ngokubambisana neBlyde River Safaris.
I-Replica 1800 yezindlu zokundwendwela I-Pilgrim Rest Rest ivakalisa iindawo ezidlulileyo zommandla kunye ne-decorated era colonial-era kwindawo efanelekileyo kwiintliziyo ze-Graskop. Isiseko esikhulu apho uqala khona i-adventure yeBlyde River Canyon, kwaye unikezela nge-WiFi yamahhala kunye nokupaka. Ukuze uthinte i-luxury, ungacingi ngeNdlu yaseMVangati ngasentla kummandla weMfula iBlyde. Apha, iindawo zokujonga iintaba zibonelela ngeendawo ezizimeleyo ngeempawu eziqhayisayo, ngelixa indlu enkulu ibonisa indawo yokubhukuda, ipatio yeefresco zokutya kunye ne-wine cellar yezidlo zangasese.
