5 days in Barberton Itinerary

Barberton is a town in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, which has its origin in the 1880s gold rush in the region. Discover out-of-the-way places like Wathaba Hiking Trail - Day Tours and Barberton History & Mining Museum. Get a sense of the local culture at Krugerhof Museum and Barberton Museum.
