Blyde Canyon, A Forever Resort

Отель понравился тем, что у него огромная территория, есть, где прогуляться. Домики чистые, но чувствуется старина, специфический запах в номере. Обед и завтрак вкусные. Расположение удачное для тех, кто на машине, на такси -не самый удачный вариант. Смотровая площадка в пешей доступности, виды очень красивые

Logement spacieux mais vieillot. Restaurant très sommaire mais pas cher. À faire en famille avec l’intention de cuisiner ( grand frigo ; bbq).L’intérêt est le point de vue sur les 3 rondavelles du canyon.

We recently made a day visit to the Forever Resort - Blyde Canyon which is around 5km north of the famous Three Rondavels viewpoint to enjoy the hiking trails situated within their property. To make use of these grounds, simply pull up to the reception office just before the entry gate. At the office, you can sign in for Day Visitor access (R150 per person as of July 2024). The staff at the desk will provide you a map which includes a handful of trails and show you where you can park and how to access the trails. On the day, we combined the Leopard Trail and Guinea Fowl Trails which made for several hours of very nice hiking (9.5 km) and total upward ascension of around 150 metres. The vast majority of the trails are natural and in pretty good condition but plenty of up and down climbing so best to have good shoes on the day. Expect a fair bit of exposure so have sufficient sunscreen, a good hat, towel and plenty of water, especially on hot days. During the hike, we started with the Leopard Trail which affords several excellent viewpoints into the Blyde River Canyon and of the Three Rondavels. With good sky conditions, these are 'WOW' stops along the trail. We spotted quite a few hyrax and different bird species. Heard an antelope barking but were not close enough to spot it. Once you descend into a spring area of the Guinea Fowl Trail, you encounter two really nice natural pools. Seems you can swim in these but the water was too cold during our winter hike so we just pressed on. The terrain between the Leopard and Guinea Fowl trails is quite different, giving a unique feel to both trails. Combined these trails took us around 3.5 hours to complete including a fair number of stops along the way for picture taking and rest/water breaks. Would gladly return to repeat this hike next time we are staying in the region and looking for good hiking opportunities.

We had loads of fun as a family at the resort. Great Safari atmosphere and a beautiful place to relax and unwind if you’re a nature fanatic like me. The chalet we were in could do with some maintenance or replacement of wardrobe doors, side lamps and shower head. Overall the place is lovely with different kinds or accommodation ( chalets/luxury camps etc.) Stunning views from the lookout points !!! My husband and I went hiking and the trails are magnificent- choose wisely as some are pretty challenging and slippery, especially by the waterfalls. The resort is well located near the attractions of Mpumalanga. On New Year’s Eve the resort provided fireplace pap and relish for roused that wanted to Braai, and live music!✨

The campsites are shady and clean and we enjoyed our stay of 8 nights. the hikes from the resort are stunning and well marked. They were the highlight of the stay. the ablutions are always kept clean and staff are on hand to attend to anything that is out of place. The resort is well situated to use as a base to visit the many tourist sites around. A wonderful family holiday

Our experience at this resort was poor. No electricity due to bad weather, food at the restaurant is simply bad, no mattress for the baby cot, only candles provided to see in the dark, staff is not friendly and do not care about you. There is something wrong with this place.
