![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/

### Nkomazi Game Reserve by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent

"We liked our stay at the game reserve, our unit overlooked the river which was very relaxing, we only went on 1 game drive due to not seeing any Elephants or Lions which was disappointing and the Buffalo where very far away, the vehicle for the game drive was very old and difficult to get in and out as I have had 2 hip replacements."
