Gauteng &
Mpumalanga
The central
hub for many journeys around South Africa is Johannesburg, in Gauteng province,
meaning “place of gold.” Travellers discover its origins as a mining town by
venturing into the depths of gold mine shaft or explore its history at the Apartheid
Museum and Constitution Hill. A vibrant and cosmopolitan city, Johannesburg is
the perfect stop for shopping between safaris, offering everything from world class
boutiques to atmospheric curio markets.
Known as
the “Jacaranda City,” the state capital of Pretoria, with its streets lined
with purple blossoming trees each November, offers a gentler and slower pace. Wander
through stately old buildings and fascinating museums, including the Transvaal
Museum, home of Mrs. Ples, the ancient fossil discovered at the Cradle of
Humankind.
While KwaZulu-Natal
is a lush, sub-tropical paradise, Mpumalanga is a classic safari country-craggy
and covered with shrubby savanna. The province is home to the world-renowned
Kruger National Park, the flagship of South Africa’s national parks. This two
million hectare reserve shares unfenced borders with private concessions alongside
the park, allowing the free movement of wildlife along ancient migration corridors.
Guests visiting
these exclusive reserves experience high quality game viewing in an intimate
atmosphere. Numbers of vehicles are limited at a sighting and sensitive off
road driving in an open 4x4 safari vehicles is allowed, as are exciting night
safaris. Expert trackers and rangers share their knowledge and enhance the
wildlife experience.
Apart from
the wildlife, Mpumalanga is scattered with small country towns surrounded by
breathtaking mountain scenery. Visitors can pan for gold in the old mining town
of Pilgrim’s Rest, or admire views from Blyde River Canyon, Bourke’s Luck
Potholes and God’s Window that will surely take your breath away.
