Mpumalanga
Lying in the North Eastern section of South Africa, Mpumalanga encompasses markedly different landforms, climate and people. The capital of Mpumalanga
is Nelspruit a town situated 446 km due east of Johannesburg. No-one need wonder why Mpumalanga (
the former Eastern Transvaal ) is one of South Africa’s top tourist destination. The answers are
easy to find. Some people are drawn by the magnificent scenery, others by the fauna and flora, and
yet others by the saga of the 1870,s gold rush era and a wealth of fascinating tribal legends. Aptly
known as " Paradise Country" few regions in the world can match the extraordinary beauty
of the Lowveld and escarpment.
Mpumalanga in South Africa often referred to as "Big Game Country" is the
setting for dozens of sanctuaries teeming with wildlife and birds. Among them, the Kruger National
Park is world renowned, as are several of the luxurious private reserves on its western boundary.
The entire area of Mpumalanga offers exceptional opportunities for safari, bird-watching, hiking,
horse-riding and fishing. Streams once panned for gold have become the haunts of eager anglers and
lazy trout.
Mpumalanga is steeped in the history of pioneers, hunters and fortune seekers,
fascinating gold rush towns abound. Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest are among the most famous. A
special, additional dimension occurs in the Middleveld region which is inhabited by Ndebele people,
notable for their traditional costumes and attractively decorated houses.
