Amanzi Maningi Guest Farm, Barberton

Amanzi Maningi is a guest farm near Barberton surrounded by beautiful trees and lots of birdlife. We have three dams which contain fish. For a quiet and relaxing getaway, this is the ideal place to be. We are also part of the R38 Wine Route.


Amanzi Maningi when translated means 'place of much water' and gets its name from the many streams and dams in the area. Situated in the honey bird area in Mpumalanga, just a short drive away from the bustle of Gauteng, Amanzi Maningi offers farm accommodation and is surrounded by beautiful fruit trees and dams. This makes for a tranquil setting, ideal for that dream getaway.


Stay over in one of our single or double rooms and after a hearty breakfast, explore the Kruger National Park during the day, or visit any of the nearby sights which include Bourke’s Luck Potholes, the Jane Goodall Institute's Chimpanzee Eden, Mac Mac Pools, Pilgrims Rest, Sudwala Caves, Dinosaur Park, Blyde River Canyon, God’s Window, Lowveld Botanical Gardens, historical mines and Graskop. You could also simply take a leisurely drive and just enjoy the tranquillity of the Lowveld. Alternatively, just sit next to one of our dams and fish whilst enjoying a splendid picnic basket. There is an abundance of waterfalls and hiking trails in the area for the more adventurous to explore, should you prefer.

We also offer self-catering accommodation, which can sleep two adults and two children. Breakfast is available on request.


After an eventful day, why not have dinner at Amanzi Maningi? We offer traditional South African fare including a braai with steak, real boerewors, pap and gravy or potjiekos with salad and homemade pot bread.

South Africa is a big, beautiful country, promising the experience of a lifetime. We offer hospitable people, glorious weather, spectacular scenery, a wealth of culture, wildlife and wilderness, and world-class hotels and restaurants.

"Once considered the secret haven of upscale travellers, South Africa has moved into the mainstream," Kathleen H Dodge wrote in the Physicians Money Digest. "Few spots on earth offer vacationers options that combine wine tasting with wildlife, five-star comfort with game viewing in the African bush. The only complaint - visitors wish they could stay longer."

The animals alone are reason to visit. One of the world's first wildlife conservation areas was South Africa's Kruger Park, more than a century old. Today it is just one part of a broad conservation area reaching across national borders into neighbouring Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

An hour's drive from such urban jungles as Pretoria and Johannesburg, you can see lions, elephants, buffaloes, rhinos and hundreds more species in the raw African bush. For birders, South Africa offers over 850 recorded species.

There are many remote places to escape to in South Africa's varied landscape, from the massive Drakensberg range of mountains, which run like a spine down the length the country, to the rock formations of the Cedarburg Mountains in the west, the Northern Cape's haunting Richtersveld area, and the vast plains of the Karoo desert.

Then there are golden beaches, some of the world's best surf, ecosystems found nowhere else in the world, an opportunity to experience African culture first-hand - and one of the least expensive holiday destinations you'll find.

South African food celebrates our rich heritage and natural bounty of seafood, meat, game and plants. And our wine has been earning rave reviews internationally for 300 years.
Cultural experiences include modern art galleries, rock art centres, state-of-the-art museums, remote cultural villages, city jazz clubs and open-air festivals.

For adrenaline junkies, there's world-class rock climbing, surfing, diving, hiking, horseback safaris, mountain biking, river rafting - and a host of other adventures supported by dedicated operators.

Our cities are an exciting mix of first- and third-world influences. From happening Cape Town - one of the most beautiful cities in the world - to busy, bustling Johannesburg, each has its own unique attractions.
