- Barberton
Once a gold mining town, Barberton has a colourful past.
- The Kruger National Park
It’s world famous. Maybe even more famous than Mr Mandela. Spend some time in the bush with animals. Get up at sunrise, drive slowly and discover nature the way God meant it to be. Whether it’s a gecko sunbathing on a rock or a lion sleeping belly-up in the sun, there is an infinite world of moments to savour…
- Ermelo
A good stopover between Zululand and the interior.
- Nelspruit
This is the capital of Mpumalanga and the centre of an extremely fertile and beautiful agricultural region.
- Komatipoort
This town marks the border between Mozambique and South Africa.
- Hazyview
Lying on the banks of the Sabie River, Hazyview is only 16km from the Numbi Gate to the Kruger National Park, so it makes an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area.
- Sabie Mpumalanga
Sabie is close to the Sudwala and Echo Caves, God's Window, Graskop, Borkes Luck Potholes, Kruger National Park, a reptile park, forest museum and Pilgrim's Rest.
- Graskop
This scenic little town lies in the heart of Mpumalanga's natural wonders and makes a good base from which to explore the area.
- Kaapsehoop
Wild horses roam here.
- Pilgrim's Rest
Don’t leave the area without dropping into Pilgrim's Rest. There are no backpackers here though.
- Hectorspruit
Situated on Southern Side of Kruger Park
- Waterval Boven
This town marks one of the points where the mountains of the escarpment descend into the Lowveld. The Eland River Falls drop 228m into the valley below – hence the name Waterval Onder, which means ”under the waterfall.”
White River
This is one of the entry towns for the Kruger National Park.
