Mpumalanga, situated in the north east of South Africa, is a region of rich eco-tourism, magnificent mountain vistas and ancient landscapes, including the Blyde River Canyon and the Sudwala Caves.

The popular Kruger National Park is offers an unsurpassed array of wildlife in its natural habitat, while smaller game reserves dotted all over the province provide for a more upmarket, luxurious and intimate experience.

Rock art by the early inhabitants of this region abound and historical sites and evidence of South Africa’s gold rush of the 1870s are preserved in towns such as Pilgrim’s Rest.

Mpumalanga, meaning “the place where the sun rises”, may be South Africa’s second smallest province, but here you will find the Blyde River Canyon (the world’s third deepest gorge), the Sudwala Caves (the oldest in the world) and the Kruger National Park (one of the world’s biggest and most famous wildlife sanctuaries).

Twisting mountain passes, rivers and valleys surrounded by exquisite forests are home to unique natural phenomena, including the 3000-million-year-old Sudwala Caves, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, God’s Window, Wonder View and the Three Rondavels. Trout fishing, hiking, bird watching, white water rafting, waterfall abseiling and elephant-back safari’s are popular activities in this region. In addition to the spectacular Kruger National Park (which stretches into Limpopo province), Mpumalanga is dotted with countless smaller, private, game reserves and parks where luxury and a more intimate game experience are prioritized.
