See the Zulu Kingdom on this self-drive itinerary
Blessed by a sunny year-round climate KwaZulu-Natal offers contrasting attractions, ranging from mountains and forests to wetlands, while activities include deep-sea diving, white-water rafting, hiking, horse riding, trout fishing, safari, golf and more.
The scenically breathtaking uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park is a World Heritage Site. The Sani Pass (2,875 metres above sea level) connects South Africa with the “Mountain Kingdom” of Lesotho. Other highlights of the park include Cathedral Peak, the Ampitheatre, Mont-aux-Sources and the Tugela Falls.
Zulus, Boers & Brits
There are plenty of opportunities for experiencing the Zulu way of life while for those with an interest in military history there are numerous Anglo-Boer, Anglo-Zulu and Zulu-Boer battle sites to visit. The most famous of these are Spionkop, Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift, scene of some of the most dramatic events in British colonial military history. Today visitors from around the world come to roam the battle sites, graves, memorials and museums which tell stories of courage, betrayal and tragedy.
Other Options
The game parks visited on this itinerary are the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, credited for saving the white rhino from extinction but also offering the full Big 5 game experience and the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. Declared a World Heritage Site the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park protects marine life as well as mammals, reptiles and birds.
The Midlands Meander can be included and is a well known sign-posted arts & crafts route with more than 100 places to visit ranging from art studios to rustic pubs.
A popular way to end any itinerary or holiday is by the coast or on a beach, and this one is no different. Ballito on the ‘north coast’ is an attractive and popular town with a fine beach and a school of approximately 200 dolphins that can regularly be seen frolicking off the coast.
Other options include private game reserves; Durban beaches; carrying on through Swaziland to Mpumalanga; heading round the north of Lesotho to the Free State & the delightful town of Clarens; or a city stay.
