Mpumalanga

Spanning close to 2 million hectares, the Kruger National Park is renowned for its awe-inspiring biodiversity, wildlife encounters and splendid landscapes, which can all be explored on a game drive or a walking safari in this world-famous Big Five national park.

The Panorama Route – a scenic drive in Mpumalanga Province along the escarpment, where the Drakensberg mountains separate the Highveld from the Lowveld – is a landscape that has been sculpted by time. It is a masterpiece of nature's artistry – sprinkled by spectacular viewpoints, studded with a number of waterfalls, adorned with geological features, and dominated by a breathtaking canyon. If you’re doing a self-drive to the Kruger National Park, a journey along The Panorama Route should be obligatory.

Patricia Chiloane is a passionate and dedicated ambassador of Mpumalanga province. She is a descendant of landowners, who have lived in the area of Bushbuckridge for generations. When she initially conceptualised Serurubele Boutique Hotel, the MBA graduate’s goal was to create a tourism ecosystem to benefit everyone in the small town. Her other goal was to elevate Bushbuckridge on the tourism map. The land on which Serurubele Boutique Hotel is built has been in her family for four generations. The hotel’s name, Serurubele, is derived from the SeSotho word for butterfly, the small insect that is endemic to the Lowveld. As visitors walk through the hotel, they are immersed in the story of the region. The hotel’s 16 luxury rooms are punctuated with pictures of the Lowveld butterflies, paying homage to the natural splendour of the area.
