KwaZulu-Natal is the place to be this spring/summer season. The province is known for its warm weather and beautiful destinations.

From the heights of the mountains in the Maloti-Drakensberg Park to the unique lakes and wetlands of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, there is so much to see and do.

The tropical savannahs and thornveld of Zululand, where the Big 5 inhabit Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, are popular with both local and international tourists.

Don’t get us started on the brilliant coral reefs and open beaches of the Indian Ocean where marine life abounds, the vast freshwater dams, and the crystal-clear mountain streams.

Whether it be hiking, fishing, biking, game viewing or just relaxing in magnificent natural surroundings, there is something for everyone.

Berg…

The 250,000ha Maloti-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site is probably one of the most breathtakingly beautiful and easily accessible mountain ranges in the world!  The Maloti-Drakensberg Park is a dynamic wonderland of massive peaks and buttresses, towering sandstone cliffs, deep forested valleys, mountain rivers and streams, and rolling hills and grasslands.  

This spectacular natural area contains many rock-shelters and caves with the largest and most concentrated collection of San rock art in Africa south of the Sahara, made by the San people (Bushman) over a period of 4,000 years. It is home to many species of fauna and flora.

A hiker’s and nature lover’s paradise, this mountain range is a wilderness where body and soul may be renewed through connection with nature. From a gentle amble along a self-guided trail or peacefully fishing in a river or dam, these extend to the rigours of rock-climbing or mountain biking for those with a taste for the high adventures of life. 

Accommodation options are equally diverse. These range from very comfortably appointed and secluded lodges, fully equipped cottages and chalets to scenic camping sites. 

Bush…

Wildlife to be seen includes big game species and an abundance of terrestrial and aquatic bird life and a rich array of marine species. Humpbacked whales can be seen on their northerly migration to Mozambique to calve and in summer, loggerhead and leatherback turtles come to shore to lay their eggs.

The Coast is made up of pristine natural ecosystems, comprising swamps, lakes, beaches, coral reefs, wetlands, woodlands, coastal forests, and grasslands - supporting an astounding diversity of animal, bird, and marine life. Sodwana Bay, with its many exciting coral reefs and outstanding tropical climate, has distinguished itself as one of the premier sport diving destinations in the world.
