Staying in Nelspruit
Nelspruit, officially Mbombela, is the capital of Mpumalanga and a natural base for exploring the Lowveld. The southern Kruger National Park and its gates are close by, the Panorama Route and Blyde River Canyon are a scenic drive to the north, and the city itself has shopping, restaurants and the Lowveld National Botanical Garden. Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, north-east of the city near White River, has direct flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Many B&Bs here sit on smallholdings and wildlife estates outside town, where you may share the garden with antelope, zebra or even giraffe. Others are in the leafy suburbs closer to the city centre. Decide which you want before you book: the estates are quieter and more like the bush, while town is closer to restaurants and the N4.
Things to ask a Lowveld B&B
- Air-conditioning. Summers in the Lowveld are hot and humid. Check the room has air-conditioning, not only a fan.
- Directions and the gate. Estate B&Bs often have security gates and gravel roads. Ask for directions, gate codes or times, and whether a normal car can make it in the rainy season.
- Breakfast times. If you plan an early start for Kruger, where game drives begin at first light, ask whether breakfast can be packed or served early.
- Activities on the property. Some estates offer walking trails, horse-riding or a pool. Ask what is included and what costs extra.
- Malaria. The wider Lowveld, and especially the Kruger Park, can be a malaria area in the rainy season. Ask a travel clinic or your doctor before you go, and ask your host about mosquito nets and screens.
Getting around
You will need a car for most B&Bs outside town. If you are flying in, book a rental car at the airport, or ask your host about transfers. For a faster way into a lodge or a view from the air, see air charter in Nelspruit.
