Mpumalanga

79.490 SQ km
pop. 2,8 million
Capital : Nelspruit

Mpumalanga ( Place of the Rising Sun ) is the main gateway to Kruger Park, many private game
reserves and the Blyde River Canyon. It is the third largest canyon in the world, after the Grand Canyon in the United States and the Fish River Canyon in Namibia. It is the second largest canyon in Africa, and is known as one of the great wonders of nature on the continent.

Many tourists regard Mpumalanga as a doormat for Kruger National Park, but it is well worth visiting in its own right. Pilgrim’s Rest, Sabie, Graskop, Hazyview and Waterval Boven are just a few of the places you should not miss.

The Drakensberg is the ideal spot for kloofing, rafting, hiking, absailing, mountain biking, ballooning and rock climbing. Dullstroom, a chic, attractive town is in the heart of trout country. If you are an angling aficionado, this is the place to be.

The Long Tom Pass, Gods Window, the Three Rondavels, Bourke Luck Potholes, many waterfalls and vistas make beautifull stops on your way from Johannesburg to Kruger, KwazuluNatal or Limpopo.

Though Kruger National Park is the province’s biggest draw card, you can experience the thrill of Big 5 game safari’s in many private parks as well. Safari’s can be booked at most tourist information centres. They can supply you with information on Bed and Breakfast accommodation, from low budget to 5 star safari lodges.
