BARBERTON:
Barberton, being the undiscovered gem of the Lowfeld, offers an unexpected lot of options. From exploring the Lowfeld, visiting Kruger National Park or a working goldmine (underground tour) and goldpanning, till the Heritage Walk (starting at the museum, displaying some precious houses from the 1880's) and the Jewelry Project, just to mention a few.
Apart from being home to some of the oldest rocks and first life forms on the planet, Barberton has a rich cultural background with gold pioneering history and Swazi pastoralists playing a major part. The richest gold discoveries ever have been made at places like Eureka City and the Golden Quarry.
The Victorian heritage is omnipresent in the town with several architectural examples of the lifestyle of the 19th century open to the public. Adventurers are equally catered for e.g. 4x4 trails, hiking trails, day tours, microlight flying, hot air ballooning and scenic drives.
ACCREDITATION:
