The heartbeat of excellence
Mbombela is the hub and the heartbeat of the province of panoramas. Did you know that God even has a window in it, surrounded by three rondavels?

Situated in the Lowveld, surrounded by nature and some of the greatest tourist attractions such as the Sudwala Caves, Kruger National Park, Panorama Route, is the City of Mbombela.
It not only boasts a rich history and wildlife, but is also a gold mine of exceptional talent; look at SA Idols winner, Karabo Mogane last year, businesswoman Uyanda Mbuli and ANC spokesperson, Jackson Mthembu, to name a few.
There have been massive developments in the city since the 2010 Soccer World Cup, like the construction of Mbombela Stadium, that symbolises Africa with its towering giraffes.
The night life might have been unexciting in the past, but there’s definitely a vibe going on now!
Are you looking forward to a scrumptious lunch or dinner? Sonpark and Crossing shopping centres are the ideal places to wine and dine, and one is spoilt for choice with a variety of restaurants, ranging from Upper Deck, Cicada, to The Greek Kouzina and Kadai Indian Cuisine. The best curry may be in Durban, but here you can get it all!
If you feel like something meaty, test the newly opened Turn ‘n Tender Steakhouse for a selection of special dishes made to perfection. The two shopping malls, I’langa and Riverside, are perfect to shop, dine and drop off the little ones to chill and thrill at the Mafunyane Riverside Waterpark.
We all know after a hard day’s work, one needs to sit back, relax and unwind. If you are asking for chilled vibes with a view, News Café is the answer where you can sip on a Mojito while listening to soothing sounds in the background play. For party revellers, Shisa Nyama-Coyotes is the place to boogie to local tunes of house maestros
and DJs.
What are you waiting for? Get down to the Lowveld for an unforgettable experience in the City of Excellence!
