Balfour Tourism Info Mpumalanga Highveld and Cosmos

Balfour Mpumalanga Highveld and Cosmos Information

The town of Balfour is situated in Cosmos Country in South East Mpumalanga. During flowering season the area is carpeted in pink and white Cosmos flowers. Balfour is a perfect week end getaway close to Johannesburg. This Bushveld area has many farms and game farms.

This small mining town was originally named McHattiesburg, but renamed in 1905 after Arthur Balfour, the then Prime Minister of Britian, when he delivered a speech there. The low lying surrounding hills are ideal for cattle farming. This is an ideal game spotting holiday close to Johnnesburg and Pretoria.
