Home to 8 self-catering campsites spread across towns like Sabie, White River, and Hazyview, Ehlanzeni is a district located in the eastern corner of the Mpumalanga province, sharing international borders with Mozambique and Eswatini. The regional economy is anchored by agriculture, producing large quantities of subtropical fruit, citrus, and macadamia nuts, alongside extensive commercial forestry. The landscape is defined by the steep drop of the Drakensberg escarpment, which transitions into the hot, flat plains of the lowveld. This geography supports significant conservation areas, including the southern portion of the Kruger National Park, providing environments for wildlife viewing and outdoor exploration amid forested mountains and expansive savanna terrain.
The province of Mpumalanga is divided by the dramatic escarpment of the Drakensberg mountains, creating distinct camping environments. The highveld region offers cool, misty weather with campsites nestled in pine forests, alongside trout streams, and near deep canyons. Below the escarpment lies the lowveld, a hot and subtropical bushveld region famous for its wildlife. Campers frequently pitch tents in thick riverine forests or off-grid bush sites bordering major nature reserves like the Kruger National Park. The varied terrain accommodates rugged overland expeditions as well as peaceful waterside camping at massive reservoirs. With its combination of steep mountain passes, hidden waterfalls, and dense savanna, the region provides highly diverse outdoor environments for both rustic and fully equipped setups.
