Romantic Getaways for Couples in Mpumalanga

The Kruger National Park is, of course, one of Mpumalanga’s biggest attractions. For couples, a safari in Mpumalanga is undoubtedly romantic. Fancy starting your day spotting the Big Five, or bonding over time spent together on game drives? You can breakfast together, enjoy a morning coffee with a view, watch the famous orange-and-pink-hued sunsets, or stay at a private lodge and spend a night listening to the sounds of the bush under the expansive African sky.

Even if you don’t stay in Kruger itself, the park’s southern entrances, like Paul Kruger and Crocodile Bridge Gates, make these encounters easily accessible. They’re just a short drive from many local accommodation options, making it easy to start your adventure early in the morning or wind down with an evening drive. Yes, you can make unforgettable Mpumalanga memories without breaking the bank! 

Choose a lodge within the park if you want the best access. There’s everything from budget self-catering to camping sites to upscale lodges for a weekend. Or you could opt for one of the private game reserves in the Greater Kruger National Park from our handpicked bush breaks.

There are also tons of lodges cater specifically to couples, providing private decks, outdoor showers, and even the chance for a starlit dinner in the bush. And of course, there’s nothing much better than sipping on a chilled glass of South African wine, listening to the calls of the wild, while sat around a boma fire with your loved one – it’s truly an unforgettable experience.
