Our List of Things to do in the Lowveld
Whether you are an outdoorsy person, or just someone wanting a blissful escape, with so much to do in the Lowveld, you are sure to be able to fill your holiday plans with many exciting things.
- Just get outdoors
Getting into nature is one of the best ways to revive your senses and regenerate the soul, which could be something that you will be in search of, after this difficult year. There are plenty of places, both in and around Nelspruit where you can put on your hiking boots and take to the various trails. Some hiking trails are closer than others, so places like Tomjachu or the local Nelspruit Nature Reserve are great places to spend a day walking, and then there is always the option of just taking a walk around the suburbs. Nelspruit is home to some really beautiful streets.
- Go back in time
The historical significance of the area is something to be enjoyed. If you have a few days to spare and you are looking to explore the local history, think about taking a trip to Barberton or Pilgrim’s Rest, where you can spend some time walking around and visiting museums.
- Eat out
A meal at the local Jock restaurant, or a trip out of town, on the Uitkyk Road, to the Little Loftus Pub, where the views are extraordinary, should definitely be on your holiday to do list.
