“The place where the sun rises” is a phrase so beautiful, haunting and an accurate description of the beauty of Mpumalanga.

Lying to the east of SA and bordering Mozambique, Mpumalanga is one of SA’s untouched havens for peace, tranquility and relaxation.

Now if you remember Tuesday blogs we were chatting about places to entertain the kids amidst the July holidays! Now parents I really am concerned about you so I wanted to help you out by giving you a few more options to consider before planning that holiday.

Mpumalanga is truly a beautiful piece showcasing South Africa’s amazing history, natural features and amazing flora and fauna. I know I say this a lot but I truly have been so blessed to have travelled through SA as much as I have, and from experience all I shall say is that it will be a destination you won’t forget.

Gethlane Lodge Hotel and Spa is found within 179 acres of indigenous bush, each unit is fully furnished and provides a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering. Now for those evenings to spend with your partner, the resort will offer babysitting services whilst you and your significant other can dine at the resorts restaurant and relax in the jacuzzi. For stressed out parents there is a wellness spa on site to take full advantage off whilst the kids play tennis, squash or enjoy the hiking trails nearby!

Waterberry Hill Resort and Spa is another lodge found adjoined to the Illanga Game Reserve and is a mere 15 minutes away from Kruger National Park. The resort itself offers a wide variety of activities. From tennis and hiking trails to a wellness spa and mini golf this resort offers enough entertainment for both you and your kids.

Sanbonani Resort is a luxury resort set in Mpumalanga’ lowveld. The self-catering thatched huts are found between Sabie and Sands rivers. For the days you don’t feel like cooking, try the resorts restaurant that offers fine cuisine. During the day why not take up bowling on the green, golf or even putt-putt. There’s is a jungle gym for the kids, and outdoor pool and a fully fitted gym. With helicopter flips and hot air ballooning not far away what more could you ask for!
