About Mbombela

Nelspruit, now officially Mbombela, is Mpumalanga's capital and your last big stop before Kruger. Get there via the N4 from Joburg or Pretoria, which carries on to Maputo as a toll road, or take the R40 in from White River and Hazyview. Locals nip between Nelspruit, White River and Tekwane most days, while holidaymakers pour in from as far as Bloemfontein and Gordon's Bay. About seven fast EV chargers are dotted around town. Don't miss the Lowveld Botanical Garden, right in town, with two waterfalls inside the gate.
