Mpumalanga playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLuKKdXhv4SaMXURCviszQKy8OdNTA5888.html&feature=shared Mpumalanga, meaning "the place where the sun rises" in Swazi, offers more than just stunning sunrises. Nestled in the eastern part of South Africa, it’s a province that has mesmerized travelers with its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural tapestry. Historically, this region was a hotspot during the gold rush days and has seen a vibrant mix of cultures and traditions flourish over time. Curiosities of Mpumalanga Makhonjwa Mountains: Also known as the Barberton Greenstone Belt, these mountains are some of the oldest in the world, dating back more than 3.6 billion years! They hold secrets of the Earth’s early crust and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pilgrim’s Rest: A living museum, this quaint village is frozen in time, reflecting the gold rush era of the late 1800s. It’s like stepping into a time machine and emerging in the past, minus the steampunk goggles. Sudwala Caves: These caves are not only among the oldest known in the world but also house fossils of ancient marine life. It's like an underground aquarium, but much cooler (literally). Interesting Spots in Mpumalanga Panorama Route: This scenic drive is nothing short of a visual feast. Highlights include: God’s Window: On a clear day, the view stretches forever, making you feel like you're at the edge of the world. Bring a camera-this spot is an Instagram dream. Bourke’s Luck Potholes: Natural rock formations carved by centuries of water flow. It's geology doing its most impressive interpretative dance. Three Rondavels: These rock formations look eerily similar to traditional African huts. Mother Nature clearly has a sense of architecture. Blyde River Canyon: One of the largest canyons on Earth, and it's lush green! This verdant paradise offers awe-inspiring views and various hiking trails. You might even catch a glimpse of the Tufa Waterfalls, cascading serenely in the distance. Kruger National Park: No mention of Mpumalanga would be complete without Kruger. This iconic park is home to the Big Five and offers safari experiences that are out of this world. Just think of it as Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs-thankfully.
Actually glad you did this cos when it comes to modern infrastructure, Slava has seen and documented bigger and better in other countries but this here is unique to SA and Africa
We have a beautiful country beautiful diverse people an cultures.. it's just a pity about the last 30 years governed by the wrong ppl. You showed Durban, my home town so perfectly.🇿🇦 Thank you
@missgndlovu6946 yeah that was an awful time.. apartheid was terrible Now things are bad crime is outta control, no jobs Healthcare in a shambles education failing.. all because of greed for power and corruption We need good governance to make SA great
