The 3 Rondavels – South Africa

Hi guys,

Hope you all are enjoying your time/life.  When I think of my trip to South Africa, I  remember a saying: “Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don’t get so worked up about things”. South Africa is really a place with great natural beauty. You can see beautiful landscapes and a trip here is really worth it for a tourist. One such marvel which I saw on my trip, was the 3 Rondavels. Below is one of pictures taken through my mobile camera.

The 3 Rondavel peaks are known for their unique shape and also for the fantastic view point in the surrounding area. The view is simply breath-taking and even the route which we drove through was something different to what I have grown up in India. The forests in India are greener compared to the ones in South Africa, But the forests here have their unique beauty. I can describe the the beauty as “hauntingly beautiful”, if that ever makes sense.  🙂

Anyways coming back to the topic, here are some interesting facts which I found out about the 3 Rondavels:

1. The 3 Rondavels are also known as ” The Three Sisters”
2. The Rondavel formation consist of quartzite and Shale
3. They are sometimes referred to the chief’s 3 troublesome wives 🙂 He  should have thought of it before deciding to have 3 wives 🙂
4. There is a flat top peak next to the Rondavels which represents the chief, “Mapjaneneg”
5. The names of his 3 wives are: Magabolie, Mogoladikwe, and Maseroto (Man these are some tough names!!!)

So now coming to travelling to visit the place, I think the best way would be to travel by car, the roads were very good for driving and have very less traffic. We traveled in a packaged tour, so me and my family traveled by bus to reach the place. Also the area is next to the Blyde canyon, another very beautiful view point.
