This part of the country is stunning and the perfect place to go if you are looking for some outdoor adventures. The town has numerous fantastic restaurants and shopping centres. And accommodation in Mbombela really meets even the highest of expectations.
A few Travel Tips
If you are a local, as in if you are South African, chances are good that you are coming to Mbombela with your own car. But there is always the chance that you fly to the area and then rent a car. This is the fastest, and probably the most convenient way to get here. Mbombela is about a half hour flight from OR Tambo International and depending on your Mbombela accommodation, there might be the option of a shuttle service.
Although Mbombela is not the biggest town, it does have a lot of traffic. City rules sort of apply, but it’s best to travel with eyes on the back, and sides, of your head! Peak traffic hours are from about 6:30 am to 9 am and in the afternoons you can expect the roads to get busy from about 4 pm.
Using a taxi service can become a little pricey but if you are not looking forward to hitting the road, it could be your best option.
Choosing accommodation in Mbombela
As we are a bushveld town with plenty of nature and wildlife all around, there are many great places to stay in Mbombela.
