Lebombo Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lebombo Mountains, also called Lubombo Mountains, are a long, narrow range of mountains in Southern Africa stretching from Hluhluwe in KwaZulu-Natal in the south to Punda Maria in the Limpopo Province in South Africa in the north. Part of the mountains are found in South Africa, Mozambique and Swaziland. Kruger National Park and Phongolo Nature Reserve protect part of the range. The range is about 800 km long and consists of volcanic rock.
The mountains dominate Lubombo District in Swaziland. Towns in the area include Siteki in the centre, Lubhuku in the west and Mayaluka and Big Bend in the south with the Lusutfu River running past the southern region of the mountain range. At the north lie the towns of Simunye, Tambankulu and Namaacha, and the Mlawula Nature Reserve as well as the Mbuluzi River.
