VVisit the small museum-town of Pilgrim's Rest. If you’re looking for old-school charm and romance, the Royal Hotel is popular for weddings and honeymoons. There are also lots of beautiful hikes to enjoy in the area.
If you’re in need of more exciting photo opportunities, don’t miss out on the Kruger National Park. Rise before the sun and strike out to spot some of South Africa’s most majestic creatures. The park also offers a number of special honeymoon packages, with luxurious accommodation, meals and guided safari outings included.
If a peaceful mountainous retreat sounds ideal, head for the tranquil village of Dullstroom. The area is famous for fly-fishing and its culinary scene. Post wedding-madness, take time out to hike, read and relax in this beautiful part of South Africa.
Whatever you choose to do, Mpumalanga is a honeymoon destination you’ll remember forever.
