This geological feature and day visitors’ attraction, named after prospector Bernard Thomas Bourke (brother of Eddie Bourke), is situated at the confluence of the Treur and Blyde Rivers, on the reserve’s western boundary 24°40′28″S 30°48′39″E. The reserve’s nature conservation headquarters is located here, beside the village of Moremela, at the canyon’s southern, or upper reaches. Bourke’s Luck Potholes marks the beginning of the Blyde River Canyon.^[2]

Sustained kolks in the Treur River’s plunge pools have eroded a number of cylindrical potholes or giant’s kettles, which can be viewed from the crags above. The pedestrian bridges connect the various overlooks of the potholes and the gorge downstream.
