Geocache Description:

MatteMeUpScotty was placed by myself along with the help of my boyfriend. We enjoy this view of Nelspruit and regularly return to view sunsets and sunrises. We hope you enjoy the beauty of the scenic surroundings as much as we do.

  • Nelspruit was founded in 1905 by three brothers of the Nel family who grazed their cattle around the site of Nelspruit during the winter months.
  • According to a 2000 census Nelspruit has a population of 220,000 people.
  • The city has 2 airports, Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport to the North East and the general aviation Nelspruit Airport to the South West. Kruger Mpumalanga is used for scheduled flights to Johannesburg and less frequently to Cape Town and other cities.
