Panorama Route Weather

Mpumalanga is divided into two parts - the Highveld and the Lowveld.

The Highveld experiences summer rain, and has a summer (October to February) to winter (April to August) range of around 19ºC with average temperatures in the contrasting seasons, of 26ºC and 8ºC.

The Lowveld enjoys relatively plentiful summer rainfall (an average of around 620 mm falls between September and March) and mild to hot subtropical conditions in the Kruger National Park.

Mpumalanga is unfortunately also known for its mosquitoes and this is a malaria area. Please ask your pharmacist about the best anti-malaria prophylaxis. Visitors to the Mpumalanga Game Reserves should consult a local pharmacist or their family physician for advice on the best anti-malaria drug or drug combination they should take.
