TThe province, which stretches east from Gauteng to the neighbouring countries of Swaziland and Mozambique, is home to the scenic Panorama Route that traces the course of the powerful Blyde River and takes in some spectacular natural attractions, as well the historic village of Pilgrim’s Rest, where you can relive the gold rush of the 1870s (and even pan for gold if you have time).
Accommodation ranges from charming, affordable B&Bs to guest farms, country hotels and luxury game lodges. Mpumalanga has excellent infrastructure with good roads that make self-drive easy, and lots of attractive small towns with restaurants and curio shops.
It’s also South Africa’s top adventure centre, where you can go river rafting, abseiling, climbing, quad biking, horse riding and mountain biking.
