布莱德河峡谷 (Blyde River Canyon)
布莱德河峡谷（Blyde River Canyon）是一个著名的自然保护区，深受前往克鲁格国家公园（Kruger National Park）及其周边的游客欢迎。该保护区保护着布莱德河峡谷，包括奥里格斯塔德河（Ohrigstad River）和布莱德河（Blyde River）的部分河段，以及围绕着特雷尔河（Treur River）汇入布莱德河下方的鲍里斯幸运壶穴（Bourke's Luck Potholes）的岩石构造。峡谷以南，保护区沿着悬崖延伸，包括了魔鬼之窗（Devil's Window）和上帝之窗（God's Window），后者是保护区南端俯瞰低地（lowveld）的热门观景点。
