Flights To Nelspruit

Nelspruit, gateway to some of the most astounding eco-adventure destinations in Southern Africa, was founded in 1895 by three brothers from the Nel family. Located in the eastern part of South Africa, Nelspruit is capital to the Mpumalanga Province and has grown substantially in size in the last 15 years bringing tourists and business by the thousands all seeking flights to Nelspruit.

Returning from your exciting ‘big-five’ safari, arduous mountain hike or river venture, indulge in a meal of fruit with delicious mangos, oranges and litchis that drip with sweetness and note the compelling fragrance of orange tree blossoms that can be smelt miles away during spring.

With an enormous variety of species, this area is paradise for any avid ‘birder’. An experience in ‘The Lowveld National Botanical Gardens’ will exceed your expectations with numerous routes depending on what birds you want to see. Adults and children express delight when sighting water, forest or sky species of hawks, eagles and kites. Around 70% of pathways cater for wheelchairs with restrooms also available for the physically challenged. An unforgettable experience, the ‘Garden’ is open all year round with affordable entrance fees of R25 for adults, R14 for pensioners and students and children R12.

A pleasant two-hour drive to the village of Roossenekal, home to the protected and sought after Yellow Arum Lily is worth it. The lily with its black/purple inside bottom imparts a marvellous display during spring and from 28^th to 29^th November, the village hosts the ‘Yellow Arum Lily Festival’.

Two backpacker establishments and a variety of accommodation comprising hotels, guest houses, lodges, self-catering and camping facilities can be found during the low season from R120 with high season starting at R560. Visitors have a great selection of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and health bars to satisfy their appetites.
