Mpumalanga is one of the most beautiful places in South Africa. With its name translating to "the place where the sun rises", it’s appropriate that the province is filled with several stunning summer destinations. Bordering Swaziland and Mozambique, Mpumalanga's large expanse has a diverse flora and fauna - a lot of which is protected by its considerable collection of nature reserves.
