Sabi Sands Game Reserve

The old gold mining town Barberton, in Mpumalanga, South Africa, has lots of picturesque colonial buildings. It is worth a stop for a few days, when/if you are in the area. It is nicer and more fun than nearby Neilspruit. Behind the mountains in the background lies beautiful Swaziland, which you can read about here: http://www.earthseeing.com/swaziland-night-listen-sound-animals/ #southafrica #baberton #colonial #arcitecture #mountains #swaziland
