Bushbuckridge: Tintswalo Safari
Few places in Mpumalanga have a history as closely tied to wildlife conservation in the Lowveld as Tintswalo Safari. It stands in Manyeleti Nature Reserve, a protected tract within the Greater Kruger landscape, adjoining Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Nature Reserve without fences between them. Manyeleti means “place of the stars” in Shangaan, an enduring link to the language of the local region. The reserve’s bushveld combines wooded cover, open clearings and waterholes that support elephants, buffalo, big cats and numerous antelope species. Tintswalo Safari is therefore part of a connected wildlife range rather than a self-contained lodge reserve.

Few towns in Mpumalanga have a history as closely tied to the former Gazankulu and Lebowa homelands as Bushbuckridge. The town is an administrative and commercial centre of Bushbuckridge Local Municipality in the Lowveld, the broad, warm inland plain west of Kruger National Park and below the Drakensberg escarpment. The R40 runs through the area, linking a dispersed network of settlements with routes towards the park and the escarpment. Xitsonga and Sepedi are among the languages heard here, reflecting communities shaped by the region’s former homeland boundaries. Bushbuckridge is primarily an everyday service centre for the surrounding rural district rather than a resort.

Mpumalanga’s terrain ranges from open Highveld grasslands in the west to the subtropical Lowveld beyond the Drakensberg escarpment in the east, creating marked shifts in climate and vegetation. The escarpment includes the Blyde River Canyon, while the province’s eastern reaches form part of the wider Kruger National Park landscape along the Mozambique border. Forested slopes, farming country and bushveld give the province a varied regional identity. Pilgrim’s Rest, a former gold-mining settlement, recalls the late-19th-century rush that helped shape this part of South Africa.

The terrain of South Africa ranges from coastal lowlands along the Indian Ocean in the east to high inland plateaus across the centre, producing marked regional climate contrasts. The Drakensberg forms a rugged eastern escarpment, while Atlantic and Indian Ocean shores frame cities including Cape Town and Durban. Table Mountain stands above Cape Town, and the Cape Floristic Region is internationally noted for its exceptional plant diversity. South Africa’s modern identity is inseparable from apartheid and the democratic transition of 1994, a history explored at Johannesburg’s Apartheid Museum. Twelve official languages reflect the country’s diverse communities. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of South Africa.
