Geography: Belfast is well situated on the main road from Gauteng to the Kruger National Park. About three hours from Gauteng, the pretty town is regarded as the gateway to the scenic Mpumalanga Highlands Meander.
History: The small town was established in 1890 on the farm Tweefontein. The farm's owner, Richard O'Neill, was unsurprisingly an Irishman and a member of a well-known Ulster family. He named the town after the Irish city he was born in. This area of Mpumalanga saw a great deal of action during the South African (Anglo-Boer) War and Belfast is the site of one of the country's largest and most notorious Boer War concentration camps that was used exclusively for Boer woman and children. Bergendal, about 6km east of the town was where the last pitched battle of the war took place. Today, the peaceful town is an important sheep, dairy and floral agricultural centre.
Art and Culture: Tourists to Belfast and those travelling along the Mpumalanga Highlands Meander can enjoy perusing and buying some of the local arts and crafts that are highly regarded for their originality and quality. Another interesting cultural site is the monument at Bergendal, which commemorates those fallen at the site of the bloody South African (Anglo-Boer) War battle.
Science and Nature: The town of Belfast is one of the coldest places in South Africa, as it lies near the Drakensberg escarpment at an elevation of 2,025m. Although this sounds unappealing, the cold weather has actually given the town two of its major attractions - tulips and trout. The cold weather is perfect for the cultivation of tulips and daffodils and each year in September the area is awash with the bright, colourful blooms. The cool weather and the elevation of the town mean that mountain streams are cold, which is perfect for the cultivation of trout. Nature lovers will love the highland scenery.
Entertainment: Tourists who are here in springtime can enjoy the fun activities that are part of the annual Tulip Festival. For those who are into outdoor activities and extreme sports there is plenty of opportunity to go rock climbing, hiking, abseiling, canoeing, 4x4 trailing, hot-air ballooning and paragliding.
Sport: The highland region that Belfast is situated in is known as the 'Trout Mecca' and the rivers and streams in this pristine environment always attract many fly-fishermen. Another sport that has its origins in Scotland is golf and for those enthusiasts who have their clubs, there is the lovely 9-hole Belfast Golf Club.
Did You Know? Belfast has one of only two open black granite quarries in the world and the granite is regarded as of the purest in the world.
