Mpumalanga Lowveld and Kruger Park Touring Map South Africa
This map covers what is possibly the most exciting region within the whole of
South Africa. About 250kms east of Johannesburg the road starts to wind its way
down from the Highveld to the Lowveld. The drive is characterised by amazing
changes in scenery, temperature and vegetation as the highveld becomes the
lowveld... a frost free area bordering on the sub tropical. The road continues
to the Mozambique border and thereon to the Indian Ocean.
For more than any other reason the Lowveld is known best of all for the Kruger National park which sits on the north eastern edge of South Africa abutting both Mozambique and in the north Zimbabwe.
But the Lowveld is more than the Kruger, it is an area of amazing natural beauty, rivers, waterfalls, forests and the oldest geological formations in the world. These ages old mountains are to found in the Barbeton area south of the administrative capital, Nelspruit. It was in the lowveld that gold was first discovered in South Africa in a place called Pilgrim's Rest... the town has been reconstructed to appear just as it did in the early gold rush days.
