Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport)
Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (Kruger Mpumalanga Internasionale Lughawe) is located 27 km north east of Mbombela in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Construction began in 2001, and it replaced the smaller Nelspruit Airport. It now serves travelers to Kruger National Park.
The airport terminal, although small, is roofed almost entirely by thatch, making it the largest thatched structure in Africa, covering approximately 7,350m2.
There are scheduled passenger flights to other South African cities as well as regional destinations. As of November 2022, German low-cost carrier Eurowings Discover commenced operations between its Frankfurt-hub and Kruger-Mpumalanga via Windhoek, Namibia. However, this route was terminated due to low demand by March 2023.

About 80% of the population are Black South Africans. The remaining population consists of Africa's largest communities of European (White South Africans), Asian (Indian South Africans and Chinese South Africans), and multiracial (Coloured South Africans) ancestry. South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, the fourth-highest number in the world. According to the 2011 census, the two most spoken first languages are Zulu (22.7%) and Xhosa (16.0%). The two next ones are of European origin: Afrikaans (13.5%) developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most Coloured and White South Africans; English (9.6%) reflects the legacy of British colonialism and is commonly used in public and commercial life.
