The Kingdom of the Zulu, KwaZulu Natal, offers a perfect holiday destination with great weather, an astonishing array of wildlife and offers diverse and spectacular landscapes with a wealth of plant and animal species. KwaZulu Natal comprises four recommended holiday areas.

Maputaland stretches north from the St Lucia Wetlands to the Mozambique border, and has been declared a World Heritage Site.  Whether in the bush or on the pristine Indian Ocean beaches, it offers a truly remote wilderness experience. This area is also home to some fantastic game reserves, great for rhino spotting, big-cat sightings and bird-watching. We particularly recommend Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, one of the oldest parks in South Africa with brilliant rhino spotting opportunities and Phinda Game Reserve set by the coast so offering a perfect safari, beach combo in one spot.

The Battlefields in the vast plains of northern Kwazulu Natal witnessed some of South Africa’s most turbulent wars between the Boers, the Zulus and the British.  Traditionally the home of the Zulu people, the siege of Ladysmith and the famous battles of Rorke’s Drift, Isandlwana and Spionkop all took place here.  Battlefield tours are the best way to appreciate the history and characters behind these bloody battles – ask us where is best to stay to get the most out of your time here.

The Drakensberg Mountains have some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in South Africa. There is an abundance of wildlife to see, Bushman rock paintings and wonderful hiking opportunities amongst the peaks. See here for more about visiting this area.

Durban is the main city in KwaZulu Natal and is the perfect springboard for your KwaZulu Natal holiday. The famous ‘Golden Mile’ runs along Durban’s coastline, a bustling six kilometre stretch of beaches, high-rise hotels, bars and restaurants. We tend to recommend staying outside the city on the coast at Umhlanga if you need a stopover en route to other destinations in KwaZulu Natal.
