Kruger Lowveld

Mpumalanga climbs from the Lowveld bush around southern Kruger up the escarpment to some of the country’s best high grassland. In one trip you can bird the savanna for raptors, hornbills and bee-eaters, the forested gorges of the escarpment, and the grasslands for cranes and larks.

Summer, November to March, is the peak for the migrants. The stays on this page are hosts who manage their land with birds in mind.

Questions travellers ask

Where should birders go in Mpumalanga?

Southern Kruger and the private reserves for bushveld birds, the escarpment forests, and the high grasslands for cranes and grassland specials.

Will I see the birds a stay lists?

The species on a listing are what the host has recorded on or near the property. Birds move with the season and the weather, so treat a list as what is possible, not what is promised.
