MPUMALANGA — Introduction Modernoverland.Com Modernoverland.Com Introduction — MPUMALANGA 421 420 MPUMALANGA — Introduction modernoverland.com modernoverland.com Introduction — MPUMALANGA 421 Mpumalanga Mpumalanga (pronounced M-poo-ma-lung-ah) means “the place where the sun rises” in Zulu and siSwati. Reflecting its name, it is a scenic province with incredible vistas between the Drakensberg MPUMALANGA escarpment and Lowveld. While the major attraction that draws visitors to the province is the nearby Kruger National Park, the surrounding towns are much more than just a launching point for MPUMALANGA day trips into the Kruger and should not be missed. The Blyde River Canyon area and the towns of Graskop and Sabie just south of the Canyon offer an assortment of adventure activities, hiking trails and dozens of waterfalls to swim under and are conveniently located less than an hour from Kruger. There are also private game reserves within the province, many of which can offer a game-viewing experience similar to the big park but without a large crowd.
