Mpumalanga, which means "land of the rising sun" in the local SiSwati language, has it all - from the exhilarating wildlife of the Kruger National Park, to secluded mountain retreats, ancient ruined cities, wild water sports, and some of South Africa's most diverse and vibrant African cultures.

The province's year-round sunny weather, soaring peaks, steamy jungles and expansive waterways have also made it home to a bewildering array of adventure sports, from expeditions down the world's oldest caves, to taking flight at the continent's largest paragliding festival and many spectacular golf courses.
