Situated in the Nkangala district, Waterval Boven offers 1 campsite. Nkangala is a district located in the western region of the Mpumalanga province. The landscape is primarily defined by the elevated plains of the Highveld plateau, which transition into savanna terrain further north. The regional economy is strongly anchored by extensive coal mining and large-scale energy generation, functioning alongside a significant agricultural sector focused on grain production. The geographic environment features major river networks and prominent dam systems, including established nature reserves. These accessible natural assets provide spaces for inland water sports, fishing, and wildlife viewing within the diverse terrain of the high plateau and surrounding valleys.
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.
