A springboard into the Kruger, this charming town is a slice of the olden days within reach of immense wilderness.
A quaint little town in South Africa’s Mpumalanga province, Hazyview is the gateway to some of the area’s most spectacular sights including the Kruger National Park and Greater Kruger area, which is about a 20-minute drive away (depending on where you’re headed, of course). Pre- or post-safari, there’s plenty more to do, especially for the outdoorsy, including white water rafting, ziplining and mountain biking. You can also enjoy the striking vistas along Blyde River Canyon and the Panorama Route at standout spots like God’s Window, the Three Rondavels and the intriguing Bourke’s Luck Potholes, and explore the region’s fascinating rock art. The area is also known for its stunning sunrises and sunsets, often shrouded in a hazy mist, which gave the town its name. Whilst you’re in Hazyview, there is also a collection of lovely restaurants and markets to explore.
