The Drakensburg Mountains and KwaZulu-Natal Tours

KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) is one of South Africa's largest provinces but is often overlooked by visitors who tend to enjoy a Kruger safari, go to Cape Town and the Winelands and then perhaps along the Garden Route. We think they're missing out by not including KwaZulu-Natal holidays as well. There's Anglo-Zulu War heritage to discover, the dramatic Drakensberg Mountain range for superb trekking, excellent game reserves and some of the Rainbow Nation's finest coastline. Elsewhere, between the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and the waterways of the one-time Greater Saint Lucia Wetland Park (now iSimangaliso Wetland Park - a World Heritage Site), Phinda Game Reserve's 17,000 hectares span seven unique ecosystems and host an unrivalled diversity of wildlife including the 'Big Five', almost 400 species of bird and superb marine wildlife such as dolphins and turtles - perfect for a luxury safari. KwaZulu-Natal holiday activities range from game drives to diving, and it's possible to spot a lion in the morning and a whale shark in the afternoon. Then throw in Durban for a fun city break, and Maputaland for a beach break and you could actually just do a KwaZulu-Natal holiday and ignore the rest of the Rainbow Nation! Read more
