Nelspruit lies in the hot lowveld valley of the Crocodile River. The climate and soil are such that this heavenly subtropical garden region grows about one-third of the country's citrus fruits as well as papaws, litchis, avocado pears, mangoes, bananas, pecan nuts, tobacco and coffee.
Nelspruit's roads are lined with lilac jacaranda, purple bourganvillia and other flamboyant shrubs. The town itself is quite large but very pleasant.
Nelspruit forms a road and rail link from Pretoria and Johannesburg to Maputo in Mozambique to the south-east, and the Panorama Route and Kruger National Park to the north and north-east.
