Things to do closer to town
You don’t have to travel hours away from Nelspruit in order to get to some of the best activities. When planning your activities, these are just some of the things that you can enjoy doing closer to town:
- The Market Scene
The market culture in Nelspruit has enjoyed something of a revival in the past 2 years and this means visitors can get a taste of all things local when they spend some time exploring the market scene.
The market will play host to countless small businesses and is the perfect place to do a little early Christmas shopping.
- A Walk in the Gardens
Getting out in nature is one way to overcome the year’s troubles and make the most of the summer heat. The Lowveld Botanical Gardens used to be well out of town, but these days the town is growing around the gardens. If you want to spend some time in the gardens, why not pack a picnic basket and make a day of it?
- Dinner in Mozambik
Not the country, the restaurant! Situated in Ferreira Street, Mozambik is an up and coming place to eat and they are known for serving up a range of delicious Mozambique inspired meals.
