Nelspruit (now called Mbombela) is the gateway to the Kruger National Park. As the closest city to one of Africa's largest game reserves, it is a natural hub for the tourism industry. Over and above that, the climate in Nelspruit lends itself to growing citrus and tropical fruits, as well as pecan nuts and macadamia nuts.
The city, located on the banks of the Crocodile River, has become known as an industrial hotspot over and above the focus on tourism and agriculture. In addition, the area hosts a number of shows and exhibitions annually, including the Nelspruit Motor Show, the Mpumalanga Show and the well-loved Innibos Arts Festival.
A brief history of the area
Nelspruit gained its place on the map as a result of the need for a place to load and offload cargo on the railway line between Pretoria and Mozambique. While funds were raised for the completion of the railway, goods were transported to the interior from Nelspruit by oxwagon. Farming began in the area in 1890, when newcomer Hugh Lanion Hall established a citrus and fruit estate that, at the time, was one of the biggest in the country.
Climate
Nelspruit enjoys warm summers during which the area gets most of its rainfall. Temperatures in summer can easily reach the low 30s, with minimum temperatures falling to about 18°C. It is worth noting that temperatures in the Kruger National Park can get significantly hotter than this. During the dry winter months, temperatures in Nelspruit range between minimums of approximately 9°C or 10°C and maximums of about 25°C.
