Events in Mbombela
Mbombela is the Lowveld's main events city, with subtropical heat, green gardens and a steady stream of weddings. Couples book garden venues, lodges and estates in the Crocodile River valley, and many pick White River, Hazyview or a bush lodge near Kruger for a destination feel. Hotels and the city's conference venues host corporate meetings, tourism functions and government workshops, and the Mbombela Stadium area suits larger gatherings. Communities in KaNyamazane and Matsulu hold traditional weddings, funerals and church events in yards and halls.
