Mpumalanga Province During the World Cup Things to do in the Mpumalanga Province during the World Cup Go back in time at Dinosaur Park (Nelspruit): Categories: Family Entertainment / Theme Parks Price group: R1 to R100 per person (see other things to do in this price group) Available in the following region(s): Lowveld Legogote Address: Next to Sudwala Caves - R532 towards Lydenburg, take R37 towards Nelspruit for 20 km, take R539 offramp at Rosehaugh, travel 16 km and turn right at T-Junction. Telephone: +27 (0)13 733-5268 Opening hours: Monday to Sunday from 08h00 to 17h30. When the full extent of your historic knowledge has been shared with much love and patience and you simply do not know the next answer to the line of continuous 'Why? Being fired in your direction from someone who takes you up to the knees... visit The Dinosaur Park. Here you will stand below the knee-height of life-size dinosaur models in a museum of life. Replica's of reptiles will keep an enquiring mind alive despite the extinction of your wisdom. Pre-historic creatures that roamed the earth over a 100 million years ago visually explain the history of the planet without the causalities and age restriction of a Jurassic Park feature. Situated in a lush real life sub-tropical garden with giant cabbage trees and cycads growing wild as part of the splendid forest, living monkeys play amongst the lifeless ancestors. Wander amongst open jawed statues of long named carnivores in toothy tackles while sub-tropical birds tweet overhead, happy as a species that survived evolution. Artistic displays portray scientifically accurate representations of the development of life through the different ages. History is resuscitated through the skeletons of amphibians and homo sapiens and the 'footprints' of dinosaurs. "Austrolopithicus africanus" is represented by forms of Mr. & Mrs. Pless, million year old southern apes who spark intense debates of mankind's origin. The local Cape Lion and Cape Quagga, extinct for almost a century, are hosted as models amongst samples of extinct mammals, a 3m long Nile Crocodile and pre-historic man. 2.2 billion year old Collenia, ancient plant colonies, fossils prove plant life thrived in an atmosphere of only carbon dioxide and nitrogen. An educational and fascinating experience for visitors of all ages. Pony Camp for Kids (Kaapsehoop): Categories: Family Entertainment / Horse Riding Price group: On Request (see other things to do in this price group) Available in the following region(s): Lowveld Legogote Address: Kaapsehoop Horse Trails, Kaapsehoop, Mpumalanga. Telephone: +27 (0)82 774-5826 Opening hours: By arrangement 'Horses and children, I often think, have a lot of the good sense there is in the world' - Josephine Demott Robinson 'Put your hands in the air and step away from the Play Station.' Getting young cowboys and cowgirls to release the control panel of the latest rodeo game may seem as realistic as getting away with substituting an organic brussel sprout and spinach purée for a chocolate fudge milkshake. The good news for all parties concerned is that a pony camp has all the fresh air and exercise (that would be the brussel sprout and spinach component) served up undetectable in a double thick coating of fun and adventure (the yummy chocolate fudgy part that makes it go down a treat). The little village of Kaapsehoop (Cape's hope) has given parents hope ... and a little rest and recuperation - after all it is vacation time. This village that lies between mountain ridge and forest plantations provides contours, camping, gullies, streams and nature in an environment that is home to wild herds of horse’s mountainside. A fully supervised and guided pony camp begins at the hand painted wooden sign that swings at the entrance to the ranch on Monday morning and ends at the same signpost at lunch time on Friday - but the stories of branch swinging; tree climbing, cave discovering, stream swimming and pony gallivanting will last another whole week. Kids advance their social skills interacting in outdoor games and activities as well as learning to straddle a gentle natured creature that, unlike Fluffy the family Maltese, is supposed to be ridden. Bring torches and bedding and tuck-shop money, leave all electronics behind. Visit Chimpanzee Eden (Nelspruit): Categories: Animal Sanctuaries / Wheelchair Friendly Price group: On Request (see other things to do in this price group) Available in the following region(s): Lowveld Legogote Address: Chimpanzee Eden, Umhloti Nature Reserve, Nelspruit, Mpumalanga Telephone: +27 13 (0)745-7406 Opening hours: A Guided Chimpanzee Tour is +/- 1,5 hours in duration. Tours are every day at 10h00, 12h00 and 14h00. Feeding times are at 10h00 and 14h00. Set on a 1000 hectare game reserve, JGI Chimpanzee Eden is a home to chimpanzees that have been misplaced from their natural habitat. The world renowned Jane Goodall Institute has made this tranquil venue their South African sanctuary and has committed itself to the rescue and care take of chimpanzees in need of refuge. Being the 1st and only chimpanzee sanctuary in South Africa, this venue will be able to bring the world of chimpanzees closer to humanity through education, tourism and modern technology. Entering the reserve, a mere 15 km from the bustling city of Nelspruit, visitors can expect to be captivated by the beautiful bush surroundings with most of the natural game species roaming the reserve. Balloons over Africa: Hot Air Balloons over Mpumalanga BALLOONS OVER AFRICA offers scenic hot air balloon flights in the beautiful Sabie River valley, near Hazyview in Mpumalanga. Hazyview is a small town situated about halfway between the southern section of the Kruger Park, and the scenic attractions of the Northern Drakensberg escarpment – a convenient location from which to explore the whole area! Balloon flights take place at sunrise while the air is still cool and stable, before the earth heats up. In windy, rainy or otherwise marginal conditions the pilot will postpone or cancel the flight – safety is the prime consideration – but generally flying conditions are good, and the cancellation rate is low. Balloon flights are offered all year round in this area. The balloon launch site is on the front lawn at Sabie River Adventures, about 11km from Hazyview, on the Sabie Road. Passengers can make their own way to the launch site – we will provide a map and detailed directions. If they prefer, we will arrange to meet them at their hotel and bring them to the launch site, returning them to their hotel after the flight. USUAL ITINERARY Upon arrival at the launch site, passengers are offered tea, coffee and biscuits and have a chance to take pictures of the preparation of the balloon for flight. When the balloon is ready and the passengers are on board, the pilot explains what to expect on launch, in flight and on landing. The flight is a scenic experience and lasts about an hour. On landing we serve Cape sparkling wine (a Cap Classique Wine) to celebrate the flight in the champagne ballooning tradition. Fruit juice and bottled water are also available. After the flight passengers join the pilot for breakfast at a country lodge, and for the presentation of flight certificates. Area During the flight passengers can relax and enjoy the spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Sabie River Adventures is situated just where the foothills of the mountains begin, and the balloon floats over small hills and hidden valleys. The distant views to the west are of the mountains – God’s Window is clearly visible from the “other” side. The views to the east are of the land gradually flattening out towards the horizon, with the Sabie River winding its way towards the sunrise. The vegetation is a mix of riverine forest, indigenous bush and fruit orchards, and the sub-tropical climate ensures that the area is green and lush almost all year round. This is a beautiful ballooning venue! Passenger carrying capacity BALLOONS OVER AFRICA can take up to a maximum of 8 passengers per flight, depending on passengers’ weights and the ambient temperature. We will generally confirm up to 6 passengers, and only accept more if the total group weight permits. The small group size allows us to offer personal attention to each passenger. While we accept bookings of 2 or even 1 passenger, we need to have at least 4 passengers in order for the flight to take place, but as we mix groups, it is usually easy for us to fill the flight. Although the flight lasts about an hour, passengers should allow 3 to 4 hours for the whole excursion, from the time of arrival at the launch site until after breakfast. Contact us for rates. Terms & Conditions: We can accommodate up to 6 to 8 passengers per flight. Individual weights of passengers determine the number of passengers on the flight, and we will ask for passengers' weights. We reserve the right to accept bookings from more than one group in order to accommodate the maximum number of passengers per flight. If we have fewer than 4 passengers by the day before the flight, the flight will be cancelled, and passengers will be given the opportunity to reschedule their booking. Booking, Payment and cancellation policy We will confirm reservations on receipt of a written booking, and will issue a pro-forma invoice. Full payment is required not less than 14 days before the date of the flight. Should payment not be received timeously, we reserve the right to cancel the booking without further notice. Cancellations 14 days or less before the flight: 50% of the total cost 48 hours or less before the flight: 100% of the total cost No-show 100% of the total cost Cancellation by Balloons over Africa due to unsuitable weather: No Charge While we make every effort to obtain accurate weather forecasts, and prefer to cancel flights the night before if unfavourable weather conditions are likely, we are sometimes forced to cancel the flight at the launch site in the interests of safety.

  • The Geology and Geochemistry of the Sterkspruit Intrusion, Barberton Mountain Land, Mpumalanga Province
    THE GEOLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE STERKSPRUIT INTRUSION, BARBERTON MOUNTAIN LAND, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE Gavin Patrick Conway A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 1997 11 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. __I_It __ ·daYOf A~V\.-~t 19 't1-- 111 ABSTRACT The Sterkspruit Intrusion, in the south-western portion of the Barberton greenstone belt, is a sill-like body containing rocks of gabbroic to dioritic composition. It is hosted by a sequence of komatiitic basalts and komatiites of the Lower Onverwacht Group. The intrusion is considered unique in this area in that it lacks ultramafic components and has no affinities with the surrounding mafic- to- ultramafic lavas. The gabbroic suite also contains an unusual abundance of quartz, and the chill margin shows an evolved quartz-normative, tholeiitic parental magma. Based on petrographic and geochemical evidence, the intrusion can be subdivided into four gabbroic zones and a quartz diorite, which is an end product of a differentiating magma. The chill margin records an MgO content of 4.8%, an Mg# of 42, an Si02 value of 52.5% and a normative plagioclase composition of An 44. The sill-like nature of the body, indicated by geochemical trends, and the steep sub-vertical layering, point to a body that has been tilted along with the surrounding lavas.
