Mpumalanga shares its borders with Swaziland and Mozambique. The larger, more populated southern part of the Kruger National Park is in Mpumalanga. The recreated mining town of Pilgrim’s rest offers some insights into the gold rush that took place in this area over a hundred years ago. The landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful in this province and range from rugged grasslands of the escarpment to the tropical humidity and plant life of the lowveld. Lots of magnificent waterfalls are to be found around the country side.
