The old gold mining town Barberton, in Mpumalanga, South Africa, has lots of picturesque colonial buildings. It is worth a stop for a few days, when/if you are in the area. It is nicer and more fun than nearby Neilspruit.

Behind the mountains in the background lies beautiful Swaziland, which you can read about here: http://www.earthseeing.com/swaziland-night-listen-sound-animals/

"Our stay at Bulembu was nothing short of a magical experience. The village is filled with character and the work being done there is inspiring. It was a pleasure to see the history of Bulembu in the museum and to explore the nearby waterfalls and walking trails. The lodge and staff made for one of our best stays in southern Africa and we have been all over. This is a must-go, you will not regret your stay here if you're looking for a quiet stay nestled in nature and amongst people doing...

Hilton Garden Inn Mbabane

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Grand Kruger Lodge and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s a polished version that keeps your tone but reads more smoothly and professionally: Revised version: The Grand Kruger Lodge delivered a wonderful experience from the moment I arrived, thanks largely to its exceptional staff who truly understand how to take care of their guests. The lodge is intimate and cosy yet still offers plenty of privacy with excellent outdoor amenity spaces. The owner is warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the stay. I will certainly be returning in the future."
