Hotels in Barberton Nature Reserve, South Africa
Barberton Nature Reserve is in South Africa's Mpumalanga province, famous for its ancient Barberton Greenstone Belt-some of Earth's oldest rocks-and lush hiking trails in the Makhonjwa Mountains. The climate is subtropical, with warm winters (around 70°F/21°C) perfect for mountain biking and spotting over 200 bird species, and hot, rainy summers (up to 86°F/30°C) that bring waterfalls to life for swimming. Whether you trek the 'Tokologo Trail' in the dry winter months for clear views of golden sandstone, or explore the reserve's network of rock pools during summer rains, you'll experience a landscape that's 3.5 billion years old.
