If you’re after a day-trip destination, we can help out. Situated 18 miles away, Nelspruit is worth getting in the car for. See the sights starting with Ilanga Mall, Lowveld National Botanical Garden and Nelspruit Nature Reserve. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Hazyview, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Elephant Whispers. (But we’re also huge fans of Hazyview Elephant Sanctuary and Shangana Cultural Village.)
