A High-Altitude Wilderness Built for Real Adventure
The Steenkampsberg Mountain Range is one of Mpumalanga’s most remarkable natural treasures — a sweeping high-altitude landscape of rolling grasslands, dramatic escarpment edges, crystal-clear streams, and some of the most pristine wilderness left in South Africa. Known for its rugged beauty and rare biodiversity, this region has become a sought-after destination for travellers looking for wild, uncrowded, and truly immersive outdoor experiences.
Sitting just outside Dullstroom, Steenkampsberg is celebrated for its cool climate, wide-open spaces, birdlife, and breathtaking viewpoints stretching across the Highlands Meander. It’s also one of the best places in the country to spot Blue and Crowned Cranes, along with endemic wildflowers and rare orchids that flourish in the undisturbed grasslands. With its clean air, untouched terrain, and sense of vastness, Steenkampsberg feels worlds away from city life while still being easily accessible from Gauteng.
This mountain range is also home to a unique adventure you won’t find anywhere else: e-Dirt Bike Adventures, South Africa’s first guided e-dirt bike tour and safari experience. Their eco-friendly SurRon electric bikes allow riders to explore remote areas without disturbing the wildlife or environment — a perfect fit for Steenkampsberg’s conservation-focused ethos. These small-group adventures glide silently across ridges and valleys, crossing streams, moving through wildflower corridors, and revealing game species and birdlife that thrive here precisely because the landscape remains so undisturbed.
Whether you're seeking a scenic escape, a nature-focused retreat, or a silent, sustainable adventure, Steenkampsberg offers a rare kind of wilderness that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the outdoors.
It’s wild. It’s quiet. It’s one of Mpumalanga’s true hidden gems — and it’s waiting to be explored.
