Area Info
Nestled in the scenic Grass and Wetlands region of Mpumalanga, the charming town of Ermelo offers a delightful blend of natural beauty, rich history, and cultural heritage. Known as the birthplace of two of South Africa’s iconic musicians – Jennifer Ferguson and the legendary Lucky Dube – Ermelo carries a soulful rhythm that reflects its vibrant past.
The town’s origins trace back to 1871 when Dutch Reformed minister Reverend Frans Cachet built a church on this site and named it after a town in the Netherlands, in honour of a close friend. Ermelo soon became a key stopover for wagon trains journeying between Lydenburg and KwaZulu-Natal, and the area gained a reputation for top-quality horse breeding and small livestock farming.
Ermelo is not just a historical stop – it’s a playground for nature lovers and adventure seekers. With its location amid wetlands and rolling grasslands, the area is perfect for fishing, swimming, watersports, and bird watching. Nearby dams offer excellent opportunities for recreational water activities, while the surrounding landscapes are ideal for game viewing and outdoor exploration.
Whether you're here for the thrill of the outdoors, a taste of South African heritage, or simply to unwind in a peaceful countryside setting, Ermelo welcomes you with open arms and timeless charm.
