Arrival / Mpumalanga Highlands

Distance
252 km (157 mi)

Itinerary
8 am to 4 pm
Upon arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport or any other location of their choice, either in Johannesburg or Pretoria, guests will be met. From here, the tour travels east through the Highveld and the rolling hills of Mpumalanga to the village of Dullstroom. The area surrounding Dullstroom is windswept grassland, dominated by the 2,332 m high "Die Berg" (the mountain). It is the highest point between the Limpopo and the Vaal Rivers.
Before reaching town, a visit is made to the Dullstroom Bird Of Prey & Rehabilitation Center, established in 1997, to promote awareness of indigenous raptors and their growing plight as endangered species. Various raptor species can be seen, and their role in the ecosystem is highlighted. After that, we will travel to the overnight destination on a beautiful highland estate where many country pursuits can be enjoyed. Here, the late afternoon is spent relaxing, taking a short hike, or trying your hand at fly-fishing for golden and rainbow trout.
