It's no surprise that South Africa has one of the largest canyons in the world and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. The Bride River canyon is often compared to the Grand Canyon in the United States and the Fish River Canyon in Namibia. It brings back the title of the world's largest “Green Canyon” for its lush subtropical leaves.
Its impressive greenery and beautiful scenery make it one of South Africa's most visited tourist destinations. The Bride River canyon, which forms the northern part of Drakensburg in South Africa, is composed primarily of red sandstone and lush subtropical leaves, and runs over 16 miles.
If you're feeling an adventurous spirit, you can take a hike and head to three Rondavels where you can see incredible views of the area.
One visitor on Tripadvisor said: “We stopped at some spectacular places you absolutely must see: Luke's potholes at Burke, three Rondabelles and of course the canyon.
“There are also two beautiful waterfalls along this road: Lisbon Falls (the most beautiful in my opinion) and Berlin Falls.”
Another was written: “A simple five for this truly amazing natural wonder. The canyon offers spectacular views for everyone who can go on a road trip after stopping halfway through with other valuable perspectives.
“The three Rondabelles, sitting on the canyon and the beautiful winding river, are on another level. It's worth every effort.”
Another iconic tourist attraction is Table Mountain overlooking Cape Town.
After climbing to the top, you will be able to see an incredible view of the surrounding scenery – one visitor said: “You'll never regret it.”
Other popular items include Big Five spots such as lions, leopards, rhinoceros, buffaloes and elephants in national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
