Literally meaning 'the place where the sun rises', Mpumalanga constitutes of three regions- 'The Highveld', 'Escarpment' and 'Lowveld'. Highveld is industrially important where on the other hand Escarpment is a major tourist attraction and Lowveld for the 'Kruger National Park' and various game reserves.
Escarpment's beauty is a trait of its spectacular boundary between Highveld and Lowveld, ranging from 1800metres above the sea level and 800metres above the sea level respectively. Its most popular for 'God's Window', a vantage point. The flora and fauna of the region is protected by several nature reserves like 'The Blyderivierspoort Nature Reserve', 'Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park', 'Sabi-Sand Game reserve'. The Trasfrontier park is outstretched to three international boundaries of South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
