White River, Mpumalanga

google
The little Town of White River - an important Farming and tourism centre - was founded around 1890. It’s proximity to the Kruger National Park renders it a great base from which to explore the Park and other undiscovered gems in the Area. The Farming tradition of the people that settled in White River, after the Anglo-Boer War, have remained practically the same to this day. The Area still attracts many who wish to witness this culture first hand and learn more about a place such as this which is virtually untouched!
