Mpumalanga means "place where the sun rises" and the escarpment views justify that name completely.
Top Spots
Kruger National Park — Lower Sabie — Possibly the best game-viewing camp in Kruger. Perennial river, lions, leopards. Book a year ahead.
Kruger — Satara — Central Kruger, open plains, big cat country. Busy but productive.
Blyde River Canyon — Aventura Swadini — Right at the canyon rim. Camping with canyon views. Swimming pool, family-friendly.
Graskop Gorge area — Several private campsites on the escarpment edge. Pancakes are mandatory.
Sabie River Bush Lodge — On the Sabie River near Hazyview. Swimming, canoeing, camping. Good base for Kruger.
Bourke's Luck Potholes — SANParks day-visit mostly, but some nearby camping. Geological wonder.
