Among the most notable sights are the awe inspiring Blyde River Canyon and the 'Three Rondvels' - natural rock towers. North towards Tzaneen truly beautiful scenery is to be found with winding passes, lush vegetation and abundant flora - most notably azaleas and cherry trees which flower in September and October.

Nearby are the fascinating Bourke's Luck Potholes and viewing points such as God's Window, as well as numerous waterfalls, valleys, rivers and panoramic mountain passes. Pilgrim' Rest, a replica of the early gold mining town, is one of the best examples of a living museum.
Mpumalanga is often considered the adventure sport capital of Africa. Adrenalin activities from kayaking, cave diving to ballooning, para gliding, bungee jumping and much more are all possible. The Drakensberg Range offers excellent hiking routes.
