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. Summer brings rainfall and refreshing thunderstorms to the region.

I visited Nkomazi Private Game Reserve with a bunch of family and friends and what an awesome experience it was, and only 3.5 hrs out of Jhb!

The location is fantastic but what really takes it up a notch is the awesome staff and their attention to detail. We will definitely go again.

I have never had such top service! You have your own plunge pool in a secluded bush setting with a tent that is pure luxury. You can watch elephants bathing in the river from your bed!
