Think about where you are going
South Africa has plenty of stunning places to visit, and during these autumn days, the various destinations become even more beautiful. If you want a peaceful and quiet holiday weekend, you should consider coming to Nelspruit. Although we are growing into a little city, the Easter weekend is usually a quiet one, with most of the shops closed and most people just relaxing at home.

Think about what you are going to do
You might not be the kind of person who wants to have a lazy holiday, in which case you will probably want to know more about what you can get up to during your weekend away. If you are headed to Nelspruit, you can think about going hiking, picnicking, or taking a scenic drive. Since the weather is so lovely at this time of the year, you should think about spending plenty of time outdoors. Up in Kaapsehoop this year you will find a bustling Easter market selling all the cakes and chocolates you could ever want. While you are up in the village, you should make the most of your time up there by taking a walk up to the Escarpment. If you haven’t done it before, you will be blown away by the sights.
