"Game for some wildlife adventure?" Mpumalanga by Jenniflower

Mpumalanga Travel Guide: 74 reviews and 251 photos

Lisbon Falls, Mpumalanga, South Africa - Mpumalanga

In my opinion this is the most natural province in South Africa. With so many natural wonders, lush and green vegetation and a real touch of Africa. From waterfalls to canyons, wild bush landscape to mountains and caves...

I have visited here often through the years and never cease to wonder at its magnificence.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Tons of game, craft, stunning natural landscapes and cultural history!
Cons:Crime is a real problem in many areas.
In a nutshell:Love this place and would like to settle here one day

This country has so many unique scenes and beauty, and varied in areas. You my get a chance to live here? Great presentation with pictures and comments. The cover pic was surreal.

This looks like a great area! I especially liked your waterfall photos and your moving tip on Soweto. And the "art gallery you can sleep in..."

Jenn, this is a very special page - coming from you who knows the 'score'! I was only in this part of SA a very brief time, but it is still my 'world' #1 spot! Amazing Mac Mac Falls reminded me of Kalambo's plunge during my Zambia days. Beaut photos!
