Tourist Attractions in Witbank

Booking your Witbank accommodation with @OneOne places you in the cultural heartland of South Africa’s Mpumalanga province.

Named after the rocky outcrop where wagon drivers used to rest hundreds of years ago, Witbank is known for the white sandstone that gave the town its name. Once coal was found in the area, a mine and railway line were built and that’s how the town was established in 1903.

Today, the town has developed into a bustling farming community that produces potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize, dairy and sheep. Witbank Dam, which has a 3540 square kilometre catchment area, is the largest municipal dam in the southern hemisphere. It offers exciting water sports, including fishing, windsurfing, and skiing.

Visitors have a choice of recreation options to suit every preference, ranging from farm stalls to coffee shops, malls, outdoor adventures and natural attractions.
