Mbombela (Nelspruit)
Mpumalanga
The place where the sun rises in isiSwati — and Mpumalanga earns that name. The province moves dramatically from high escarpment country to the warm Lowveld, making it one of South Africa's most rewarding contrasts. The Panorama Route offers some of the most dramatic viewpoints in southern Africa, while the eastern plains form the main gateway to Kruger National Park. Waterfalls, forested passes, old gold-rush settlements and safari country all sit within the same broad travel circuit.
