Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Car in Nelspruit

Experience Nelspruit

Nelspruit is located in the northeast of the country, not far from the Swaziland and Mozambique borders. The city is also conveniently the closest to the world famous Kruger National Park. To visit the park, head east from the city, where you will find the park a short distance away. Within Kruger you can see more species of mammals than any other African reserve, with buffalo, rhino, elephants, giraffes, hippos, lions and wildebeest all numbering in the thousands.

To see another unique natural attraction, head west of Nelspruit, where you will find the Sudwala Caves. Dating back roughly 240 million years, these are the oldest known caves in the world, with an impressive sight. Right beside the caves you can also visit the P R Owen Dinosaur Park, which features a number of life size dinosaur replicas.

For another great outing unique to the area, jump in the car and head south of the city, and visit Chimpanzee Eden, located about 15km away. This is a refuge for chimpanzees who have lost their homes in the wild or been rescued from zoos or circuses that mistreated them. With lots of interesting characters to meet, this is a great place for the whole family to come face to face with our closest relatives.
