The Highlands Meander in Mpumalanga has become a popular tourist destination in South Africa. It encompasses the higher escarpment reaches, sandwiched between the Cultural Heartland and the Panorama regions. The Highlands Meander is a region that has a lot to offer and attracts nature lovers, flyfishers (This is trout country!) and adventurers.

In short the Highlands Meander is ideal for nature buffs and adventurous spirits. The imposing mountains and perennial rivers offer opportunities for the adrenaline rush of rock climbing, abseiling, canoeing, 4x4 trailing, hot air ballooning, and paragliding. The timeless ages of nature gradually created the wealth of diversity in the Highlands Meander region. From the almost treeless savannah areas of the Highveld to the spectacular rock formation of the escarpment, the valleys formed by rock upheavals millions of years ago, add to the special uniqueness of the area. Ancient tribal battles were fought here, and gold was prospected more recently. Vestiges abound. The Highlands Meander is well worth the effort of incorporating it into your next journey through South Africa. Belfast, Dullstroom, Machododorp, Lydenberg and Waterfall Boven are all towns of the Highlands Meander Accommodation on the Highlands Meander
