eNtokozweni (Machadodorp)

A Historic Highlands Escape

eNtokozweni, formerly known as Machadodorp, is a quiet town situated in the high altitude grasslands of the Mpumalanga Highlands. It gained historical significance as the temporary capital of the South African Republic during the Anglo-Boer War. Today, the area is a favourite destination for fly-fishing enthusiasts. These visitors frequent the many trout-filled dams and rivers in the district. The town serves as a scenic stopover for travellers moving between Johannesburg and the Lowveld via the N4 highway. Natural beauty surrounds the region. It features rolling hills and the nearby Elands River Falls. Visitors enjoy the crisp mountain air and the slower pace of life found in this rural community. Its rich heritage and proximity to major hiking trails make it a unique high-altitude gem on the way to the escarpment.
