Nelspruit

Nelspruit has been called the gateway to Mpumalanga and the Kruger Nationl Park. Nelspruit's (Mbombela/Nelspruit) natural attractions include a spectacular canyon, imposing mountains, mist-shrouded waterfalls and freshwater lakes.

The Highlands Meander route is also a nature lover's paradise. South Africa's premier fly-fishing destination hosts some of the subcontinent's rarest birds, offering the best rock climbing and boasting spectacular wild flower displays.

Nelspruit is a stone’s throw from South Africa’s most spectacular natural attractions including the world-famous Blyde (Motlatse) River Canyon, God’s Window and the Kruger Park.
