Divided by the Drakensberg Escarpment, Mpumalanga – meaning “the place where the sun rises” – is a province in eastern South Africa. The western Highveld consists of grassland and industry, while the eastern Lowveld is dominated by savanna and game reserves. Key attractions include the Kruger National Park, home to the Big Five, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, noted for leopard sightings, and the Blyde River Canyon, one of the world’s largest green canyons. Activities range from wildlife viewing, hiking, trout fishing, and birdwatching to adventure sports such as rock climbing, abseiling, and occasional white-water rafting on the Sabie River, alongside cultural visits to historic towns like Pilgrim’s Rest.
