Barberton

The Gem of the Makhonjwa Mountains

Visiting Barberton is like entering a living museum of South Africa’s 1880s gold rush era. Located in the De Kaap Valley, this historic town sits at the foot of the ancient Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring some of the oldest exposed rocks on the planet. Whether you are walking the Heritage Trail to see Victorian architecture or driving the scenic Geotrail to find three billion years of geological history, Barberton provides a deep look into culture and nature. It is a top destination for paragliding, hiking, and uncovering the roots of the region, offering travellers a fascinating trip filled with stories of fortune and discovery.
