This is one of our favourite areas. There are so many places of contrast to visit, all within relatively short distances. From the majestic Drakensberg Mountains , a World Heritage Site, through to the tropical savannahs of Zululand where the "big five", elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo and leopard inhabit Hluhluwe Imfolozi National Park . On to the brilliant coral reefs of the Indian Ocean that fringe the lakes and wetlands of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, also a World Heritage Site. This culturally rich and diverse area offers some of the best B and B’s, lodges and hotels in South Africa. The close proximity to Lesotho means you can drive up the wild Sani Pass or even drive on through Swaziland if travelling north.

Fly into Durban and treat yourself to a special holiday, particularly suited to the family in this scenic and culturally rich province of KwaZulu-Natal.
