Badplaas

Situated in eastern Mpumalanga, Badplaas, also known as eManzana or eBhadini, is a small town resting in the foothills of the Dlomodlomo Mountains. Meaning ‘Place of the Baths’ in English, Badplaas is a popular thermal resort town in South Africa. Featuring a beautiful backdrop of the Hlumuhlumu Mountains, the spa complex offers a fabulous setting for relaxation. The main drawcard is the hot, sulphurous spring that expels 30 000 litres of warm, healing water per hour. The area also offers excellent bird watching opportunities - visitors can spot an array of bird species including the trumpeter hornbill, Knysna lourie, olive bush-shrike, malachite and the hummingbird. Don’t miss the chance to walk along 100-year old water canals to a cascading waterfall with views over the valley.
