January in Nelspruit
2020 saw many changes to the way that we live and navigate our way through life, and yet in many ways life in Nelspruit is much the same as it has always been. Life in the Slowveld goes on and apart from the usual COVID restrictions and hand sanitisers on every corner, it is business as usual.
January in Nelspruit is considered the hottest month of the year. The day temperatures are soaring, and the humidity is high, bringing in the annual rainfall that this region so desperately needs. The days are longer than usual, with the sun rising before 5am and setting well after 7pm, giving Lowvelders and those visiting the opportunity to make the most of the great outdoors.
January is also a fantastic time of year to travel to the Lowveld for a holiday. With the 2020 festive season over and most of the holiday makers having gone back home, the attractions in the area are blissfully quiet. This makes January a great time of year to visit and if you have not yet had a break after the tough previous year, now is a good time to treat yourself.
Things to do in January
We don’t need to tell you that the country is back in a Level 3 lockdown which makes travelling a little more complicated than usual, but if you are able to leave home and travel to the Lowveld for a break, here are some of the things you should do.
Safari
Given the fact that the last year has all but destroyed the South African tourism sector, if you are in a position to travel to the area and embark on a Kruger Park safari or a safari at any one of the smaller, private reserves, now is the time. Not only are the usually busy parks now all but empty again, but now is also a good time to take advantage of the good prices. There are many great discounts currently running and regardless of whether you are going to have a self-drive safari or if you are keen on trying out a guided safari, you should now do it.
Going on safari will also be a great help to the struggling local market.
Historical Tours
The Lowveld is full of numerous historical towns many of which have been empty for most of 2020. If you are a keen historical buff, January is the perfect time to visit these small towns and to learn about what has made them so famous. The weather is also just perfect for a visit, as everything is green and glowing.
Do business
If you are on town on business, now is the best time to make new connections. The clean new start along with the fact that many businesses are getting back on their feet again and possibly looking to make new contacts, makes January a good time for business.
Nelspruit Lodge offers some of the best accommodation in Nelspruit and we are open for guests. Contact us today to make your booking.

How to plan the perfect Nelspruit business trip
At Nelspruit Lodge, we cater to the business community throughout the year. Not only do we have fantastic accommodation as well as various facilities that many travelling business people find incredibly useful, but we are also situated in one of the best areas of Nelspruit, close to busy business hubs and the CBD.
With January well underway and new business year now in full swing, those who live on the road are likely to be planning their trips and deciding on how best to navigate 2021. We don’t need to tell you that 2020 has been one strange year and that none of the plans we set out for the previous year were achieved in the way that we expected them to.
For this reason, even with all that is already happening in this first month of the year, we are all raring to get going and to make up for the time lost and that means planning the perfect business trip.
Planning is key when you are setting out on a business trip. To skip this part can mean forgetting something that could very well change the outcome of your journey.
An effective business trip needs to follow 6 very simple steps:
- Make all of your travel arrangements weeks before you leave
Whether you plan your own trips or leave it to a travel manager, you need to be certain that all of your travel planning is done well in advance. Leaving the lodge bookings too late could result in you not getting a room at all, and as such having to rely on inferior accommodation that is way out of the way of where you need to be. You can book Nelspruit accommodation on our website.
- Choose accommodation based on price and convenience
You don’t want to over extend your budget by booking a really expensive place or by inconveniencing yourself by opting for accommodation that is so far from where you need to be that you end up spending your whole budget on transport. Nelspruit Lodge is both affordable and centrally located so that you are close enough to where you need to be.
- Create a full itinerary, leave nothing out
Having a well-planned itinerary will ensure that you are in control of every moment of your trip and that you end up making the most of every minute.
- Research your destination. When coming to Nelspruit, you will find loads of helpful information on our blog.
Nelspruit, being rather small, is really easy to navigate and you will find that there are plenty of places to enjoy a meal or a night out. When researching the town, be sure to know where you can find great restaurants, medical facilities and shops.
- Pack your electronics including chargers and accessories
Laptops and smartphones are without a doubt the most important electronics you can take with you. Make sure that you pack them along with the chargers so that you stay connected.
- Fully prepare for your meeting
Know why you have come to town for the meeting. Being prepared for your meeting will take the heat off and it will help to guarantee that your time in the town is well spent and as productive as possible. Bring along any information you might need as well as any papers or documents that you you’d like to share with those you are meeting.
