Winter in Mpumalanga is hardly winter at all! Spoiled with sunshine and warm days, Mpumalanga is filled with adventures aplenty for those who are looking for an escape from the harsher weather in South Africa.
We’ve put together some adventure-filled moments that you can enjoy with family, friends or both, as you hold on tight for only a few more weeks until Spring settles in our country.
Mac Mac Falls
The second highest waterfall in Mpumalanga, this is a sight that must be seen. Take a walk to the Mac Mac Falls for a winter adventure that is bound to keep you coming back year after year.
Did you know that Mac Mac Falls has two waterfalls that come into one in a powerful spectacle of the power of water?! It’s true! And magic that must be seen with your own eyes.
The Mac Mac Falls have both picnic and braai facilities, and if you catch them on a warm winter's day (which is not hard to come by in Mpumalanga) you’ll be able to take a dip in the Mac Mac Pools at the end of the walk. What more could you possibly want?!

Lake Umuzi Waterfront Entertainment
Are you a water baby at heart, seeking out some winter water fun that won’t set your fingers to icicles? Then look no further than Mpumalanga’s Lake Umuzi.
Located in Secunda this entertainment complex offers activities for the whole family or corporate focused events, with restaurants, venue hire and more.
We’d highly suggest a quick getaway to Lake Umuzi with the family to wash winter away - enjoy the Aquazone Waterpark with supertubes as well as an indoor olympic size swimming pool, or take your chances at a game of putt putt or laser tag.

Graskop Big Swing
Swing your winter worries all the way into Spring at the Graskop Gorge cable swing. It’s the highest cable gorge swing in the world, reaching 70m high! WOW!
This is not for those who are uncertain of heights… but if you’re amongst the brave, flinging yourself off a waterfall will give you the biggest adrenaline rush ever!
