Nelspruit
Nelspruit is the capital of Mpumalanga and the commercial and administrative hub of the Lowveld. The Nelspruit Historical Trail is an hour-long route stretching from the Promenade Centre to the Civic Centre.
The Blue Train runs between Pretoria and Nelspruit on a chartered route called the “Val- ley of the Olifants Route”. Rovos Rail’s trains also travel to Nelspruit.
The Green Heritage Hiking Trail in the Nel- spruit Nature Reserve is one of several walks in the reserve and one of many in the region.
Not to be missed is the Lowveld Botanical Garden, as well as the Reptile Park, the Sud- wala Caves and the PR Owen Dinosaur Park.
The tranquil town of White River to the north of Nelspruit, is well known as an artists’ haven and a gateway to the Kruger National Park. The town also boasts an orange winery. Rottcher Wineries have taken advantage of the area’s prime production of oranges to make a truly unique wine, which has been a hallmark of the area for over 50 years.
