Mpumalanga

Meaning the place of the rising sun, Mpumalanga is endowed with varied attributes ranging from natural beauty, riveting cultures and untamed wildlife.

Rightly dubbed the South African adventure capital, Mpumalanga offers an array of activities such as abseiling, white-water river rafting, fly fishing, mountain biking and bungee jumping.

The low veld escarpment offers undulating landscapes with attractions such as the Blyde River Canyon, majestic waterfalls and high-altitude scenic drives, all presenting interesting activities like the annual Subaru Sabie Classic (mountain-biking event).

Hike in the Barberton mountain range with rock formations dating back 2,5 billion years, or walk down memory lane in the mining village of Pilgrim’s Rest where one can still pan for gold the ancient way.

Chrissiesmeer in the south offers bird watchers a treat of more than 250 species endemic to the area.

The midveld offers trout-fishing opportunities in pristine rivers and dams with Dullstroom referred to as the fly-fishing Mecca. Other activities of the area include rock climbing and abseiling.

Set in the southern tip of the Kruger Park, the greater Malelane area offers visitors game viewing with a difference, by means of micro-lighting, safari walks or elephant rides.
