The tidal sandstones of the Makhonjwa mountain range tell the story of ancient beaches, tides and some of the earliest life.

White tidal sands like these also tells us that the moon was much closer to earth when this was formed, the tidal pull was stronger and the water rushing around the earth, with no land mass to slow it down, made for huge tidal water surges.

Visit the Tidal Sandstones along the Barberton road and learn about the spooky story of Sister Brown, the ghost of the provincial hospital and the hanging tree at the Bougainviilea Hotel.... 👻

Hoedspruit … a small town with an incredibly interesting history.

Dawid Johannes Joubert was the first official landowner of the farm Hoedspruit.

He arrived in the Lowveld in 1844 and settled in the area between the Blyde River and the Zandspruit River.

On 5 May 1848 Dawid Joubert registered the farm at the land office which was situated in Ohrigstad, making it the year that Hoedspruit received official recognition as a town and municipality.

Learn more about Mr Joubert and many other persons of interest as you travel from points including Sabie, Nelspruit, Uitkyk and more on the LOWVELD URBAN SAFARI!

If you are not a Lowvelder, you might wonder who “Old Joe” is when you pass by on your way to Nelspruit.

The old rock was named after Johannes (Joe) Barabas, the foreman who supervised the construction of the first road through Schoemanskloof in 1927.

The rock was erected on the side of the road and named Joe, in honour of Joe Barabas who dedicated himself by ensuring that the construction of the road went ahead quickly and without any major glitches.

James Stevenson Hamilton was the very first warden of the Kruger National Park and took on the position as ranger on 1 July 1902.

The local shangaan people nicknamed him “Skukuza” (meaning “the man who has turned everything upside down” or “the man who swept clean”).

This in reference to his work at the camp to curb poaching in the park. The Stevenson-Hamilton Memorial Library and Museum, at Skukuza, is named after him.

"In days of old, passing travellers would stop at what is now known to be whiskey creek to fill up water and let the horses rest. The story goes that they would leave a bottle of whiskey for the next person to come by, each traveller, in turn, replacing it when it emptied.

An unspoken, unwritten Gentleman's rule that ensured the next traveller received what the traveller before has enjoyed. We set out to craft the whiskey which inspired the first traveller to start this fine tradition."

Journey up the misty Longtom pass and stop off at the lovely Hops Hollow Brewery to try out their new addition to their craft menu, Whiskey.
