The greater Barberton area is one of the most intriguing tourist destinations in South Africa. History and the scenic beauty and natural wonders of the surrounding mountains, known as the Makhonjwa, are its defining features. The varying environments, from rocky mountain lands with their pockets of indigenous forests to the vast open grasslands, provide a wide range of habitats for a large number of special birds.
This superb short tour combines the spectacular mistbelt forests of the Karkloof with the pristine high-altitude grasslands of the Drakensberg escarpment.
