It has a tropical atmosphere. It's on the road to White River before you get to the casino. Has several loop walks, bridges and waterfalls with several interpretive signs. There is a cost of admission, and like in many parts of South Africa a tip for the car minders. It can feel quiet and isolated, and there is no real security to speak of. Set in 154 hectares of land along the eastern bank of the Crocodile River, it hosts around 500 species of plant species indigenous to the area.
The Lowveld National Botanical Garden, one of the nine National Botanical Gardens of South Africa is located just outside Mbombela, Mpumalanga at the confluence of the Crocodile River and Nels River, which are separated by an extensive promontory. A lookout point at the far end of the garden, reached through a rainforest trail allows views of the river in the deep gorge.
