Located in the south-eastern part of South Africa's Pumalanga province, close to the Mozambique border, Malhalane is known as the 'Eastern Gateway to the Kruger National Park' and is an important gateway for visitors to the world-famous game reserve. Surrounded by lush plantations, this tropical-climate town is known for its abundance of tropical fruits such as mangoes and oranges, and agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy. Radiating from the Kruger National Park, the Malhas has a vibrant eco-tourism scene where visitors can experience wildlife cruises, bird watching and outdoor adventures. The local community retains its multicultural character and the traditional handicraft markets have an African flavor, making it an ideal destination to experience South Africa's rural life and natural charm.
Same, the capital of Timor-Leste's Ainaro District, is located about 50 kilometers south of the capital, Dili, in the mountainous interior and is an important agricultural and transportation hub for the country.
