Hunting in South Africa's Mpumalanga Province

Mpumalanga means "the place where the sun rises", and is perhaps blessed with the most favourable hunting species, terrain and climate. It holds the bulk of the Kruger National Park in what is known as the lowveld (lowlands) and the game reserves and ranches along its boundaries are the main attraction to the hunter.

Mpumalanga rates as one of the most scenic of all the regions in South Africa, with awesome views around the Drakensburg mountains and some of the largest planted forests in the world.

It is here that some of the best deals on Cape Buffalo, lion and elephant have been offered in the past years. Most of the common plains game are abundant on many game ranches across the province, from the boundaries of the Kruger Park to the peaks of the Drakensberg.

Price may tend to be higher here than in other more remote provinces, however it still remains one of the better places to hunt buffalo in the country.

The close proximity to Johannesburg make getting there easy and hassle-free. The major towns of the area are Nelspruit (regular flight service), Pilgrims Rest, Barberton, Piet Retief, Sabie and Lydenburg.
