Overview

The KwaZulu Natal Adventure self-drive holiday incorporates some of the major highlights of KwaZulu Natal. It's an enjoyable mixture of discovery and gourmet delights amidst breathtaking scenery.

You get to enjoy game-viewing in Thanda Game Reserve and in the Isimangoliso Reserve close to the St Lucia wetlands; relax on the Indian Ocean beaches, tour the Natal Battlefields, and walk or scenic touring in the Drakensberg mountains. It's ideally suited to the South African winter and spring months when the climate is warm, sunny and dry. It uses Premier to Luxury accommodation throughout.

Your first day is spent just north of Durban, at Umhlanga Rocks, an upmarket beach resort. This gives you the opportunity to catch some waves, rejuvenate after a flight or discover the rich culture and history of Durban. After relaxing on the Indian Ocean coast you head to the Drakensberg mountains. The "berg" offers everything, from serious hiking to gentle rambles beside crystal streams and through wooded glades.

Next you head to the Natal battlefields where we recommend the fascinating guided tours to Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift. Then its off to enjoy 3 nights in a private game lodge on safari before enjoying some time on a pristine beach in Coastal Maputaland. Your final stay is at Serene Estate close to the Isimangaliso Wetlands Park (St Lucia)
