Mpumalanga, which means “place where the sun rises”, is situated on the eastern side of South Africa and is one of the country’s nine provinces. It is home to a diverse range of fauna and flora which makes it a remarkable destination. World-famous attractions such as the Kruger National Park, Pilgrim’s Rest, the Blyde River Canyon and God’s Window are all located in this region.

The province is divided longitudinally into the Highveld, on the west, and the Lowveld, on the right. The Highveld is typically cooler than the Lowveld and experiences frosty winters whereas the Lowveld region has a subtropical climate, with milder winters.
