Safari Lodges in the Mpumulanga region

Translated, Mpumalanga means the place of the rising sun. Its natural beauty, riveting cultures, untamed wildlife and exciting activities, earned it the title of ‘THE adventure capital’! Interesting sites to visit along this panoramic route include the majestic waterfalls and ‘God’s Window’ at The Blyde River Canyon, the historical Barberton mountain range rock formations and the gold panning mining village of Pilgrim’s Rest. For the bird lovers, Chrissiesmeer offers a treat of more than 250 bird species and Dullstroom commonly known as the fly-fishing Mecca offers its pristine rivers to the ardent angler.

Phenomenally attractive in various formats with a rich history preserved along the aligned conservation efforts of our well known and beloved Kruger National Park, its just a pity the diversity is as appropriate as contributions towards conflicting concepts exist and the small and successful proving their worth when travelling into this region with experience.
