Wakkerstroom
is a small village situated in a beautiful valley in Mpumalanga on the
border of Natal. It is an area steeped in history and has just
celebrated its 150 year anniversary.
It is also a birding area of international importance and has many rare, endangered and endemic species such as the blue crane and the wattled crane.
Its endless grasslands stretch on forever and the ever changing weather makes Wakkerstroom a living breathing canvass.
Wakkerstroom makes you feel welcomed from the moment you step into town. Treat yourself to a drink at the Mucky Duck, Pasta Putanesca at the Garrett, bird watching with Lucky or petting an Al Paca at the Roost. Art classes, hiking, scenic drives, glass blowing, shopping or visiting the headquarters of BirdLife South Africa to find out more about this exceptionally important biding area will all make for a memorable visit.
With its plethora of quaint guest houses and hotels Wakkerstroom makes for a fascinating place perfect for weekends away from Johannesburg
