Travel Mpumalanga
Come and see the beautiful South African province of MPUMALANGA, and experience all that this picturesque land has to offer, all while engaging in a High Performance Rugby Programme.
The Pumas Rugby Institute, which is housed the heart of one of South Africa’s most beautiful and beloved stadiums: Mbombela Stadium. Mbombela Stadium is situated in the picturesque Lowveld region of Nelspruit, the capital city of Mpumalanga. It lies along the Krokodil (Crocodile) River, among domed granite hills. Nelspruit is the trading centre for the surrounding fruit growing area of Mpumalanga. Fertile soils and subtropical climate provide perfect conditions for the production of citrus and tropical fruits, mainly mango, banana, avocado, macadamia and pecan nuts.
The Lowveld botanical gardens just outside of the town boasts a rare collection of plant species and the first man-made rain forests. Nearby Sudwala caves, dinosaur park and cultural centre expose our senses to the primitive Africa. A short distance away above Nelspruit is the gold mining town of Kaapsehoop where the mist filled evenings and a herd of wild horses grazing in the town transport you into a world of yesterday.
Many beautiful nature and hiking trails are in the vicinity of Nelspruit and a 1-hour historical trail acquaints you with the architectural and cultural history of the town.
