Blyde River Dam Visitor Center reviews

We got there late in the afternoon (4pm), so mostly it was closed. There are some braai.areas and I'm sure the locals use it.

The Visitor Centre is at best average, it has some good displays but the hand out trail map is a complete joke as it's been photocopied badly and you can't even read it! It's pointless. The picnic area is fine but people are playing music, …

Neglected Info Centre and road to Centre is stuffed what a shocker! Foreign tourists must be impressed! Welcome to Africa! A blight on Gods gift! Why no operating times posted? The saving grace is the boat trip on the stunning canyon river!

The employees were helpful and knowledgeable. They provided us with useful information about the dam and the activities available. However, the waiting time was a bit longer than expected, and it seemed like they were understaffed.

The facilities at the Visitor Centre were clean and well-maintained. The picnic area had plenty of seating options and the braai areas were a nice touch. However, there were some people playing loud music, which disrupted the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, it was a decent experience.

I visited the Visitor Centre with my family and we were disappointed by the lack of information available. The trail map that was provided to us was illegible and unusable. It was a shame because the displays in the Centre were actually quite interesting. We ended up just exploring the area on our own.

The boat trip on the river was the highlight of our visit. The views of the canyon were absolutely stunning and it was a great way to experience the natural beauty of the area. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Blyde River Dam.

The overall experience at the Visitor Centre was below average. The road to the Centre was in poor condition, which made it difficult to access. The Centre itself was neglected and could definitely use some improvements. The boat trip on the river was the only redeeming factor of the visit.

The staff at the Visitor Centre were friendly and attentive. They took the time to answer all of our questions and provided great customer service. However, there was a bit of a wait before we were able to get assistance. It would be helpful if they had more staff available to handle the busy periods.

The Visitor Centre had a nice ambiance and the decor was well-done. The displays were informative and engaging. However, the lack of proper signage and operating times was a bit frustrating. It would be helpful to have this information clearly displayed for visitors.

The Visitor Centre was a bit of a disappointment. The displays were average and the hand out trail map was unreadable. The picnic area was fine, but there was loud music playing which ruined the atmosphere. The boat trip on the river was the only highlight of the visit.

The Visitor Centre was a letdown. The road leading to it was in terrible condition and needs to be repaired. The Centre itself was neglected and could use some maintenance. The boat trip on the river was enjoyable, but it wasn't enough to make up for the subpar experience at the Centre.
