BOURKES
LUCK POTHOLES
A visit to the Bourke's Luck Potholes from Thaba Tsweni Lodge is a must!
At the confluence of the Blyde and Treur
Rivers, rapids and whirlpools occur. Through millions
of years, water-borne sand and rock moving through these whirlpools, have
scoured smooth-sided potholes into the original riverbed.
These potholes have become known as the
Bourke’s Luck Potholes, where the combined force of the Blyde and Treur Rivers
have cut a deep 26km long canyon known as the Blyde
River Canyon.
