Ehlanzeni District Municipality
The eastern district of Mpumalanga, where southern Kruger National Park and the classic sights of the Panorama Route are concentrated.
Ehlanzeni District Municipality lies in eastern Mpumalanga, bordering Mozambique and Eswatini, with its administrative center at Mbombela. Southern Kruger National Park and neighboring private reserves such as Sabi Sand are popular areas for spotting the Big Five. Along the Panorama Route, Blyde River Canyon, the Three Rondavels, God's Window, Graskop and the historic village of Pilgrim's Rest also lie within the district. The dry season from May to September is the best time for safaris. The gateway is Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport.
