Nestled in the rolling green hills of KwaZulu-Natal at 1,400 meters above sea level, Mooi River—originally known in Zulu as Mpofana (“Place of the Eland”) and named Mooi (“beautiful”) by Dutch settlers—is far more than just a quick pitstop on the N4.
As a picturesque gateway to the Drakensberg mountains and a key stop along the world-famous Midlands Meander, this historic farming town combines small-town charm with rich country heritage.
