Mpumalanga Highlands, South Africa

About Mount Anderson

An exclusive 7,800 ha private nature getaway set in the dramatic mountain landscape of the Mpumalanga Province. It is an idyllic sole-use retreat for multi-generational families and small groups and has proven to be one of the most exciting and unique destinations on offer in African travel itineraries. The property offers spectacular scenery and breath-taking views whilst carrying rare and endangered mountain wildlife as well as some of the most unique vegetation in the country. Situated high in the mountains in a secluded valley overlooking crystalline trout ponds, Golden Cottage offers accommodation for maximum twelve guests. Enjoying the property as their own personal playground, guests enjoy wildlife drives, walks, hikes, fishing, canoeing, mountain-biking and horse-riding all in the company of their own expert guides. The reserve is also steeped in a kaleidoscope of history from Stone Age artefacts and San rock art, ancient Pedi ruins, Anglo-Boer War history and late 19th century Gold Rush relics. Successfully proclaimed in 1990 as South Africa’s first-ever private water catchment reserve, Mount Anderson is a classic conservation story and protects some of the major river catchments that are the lifeblood of the Kruger National Park, agricultural farms downstream and local communities.
