Durban
Durban is the largest city in KwaZulu-Natal and an important economic hub built around the busiest port in the Southern hemisphere. Situated on the Indian Ocean, Durban is an eclectic mix of cultural diversity, with the Indian, Zulu and European communities providing fascinating architecture, interesting markets and bazaars and an abundance of attractions and activities. Stroll along the Golden mile, Durban’s bustling beachfront; visit the Natal Sharks Board, the only one of its kind in the world; drive along the South Coast, also known as the Dolphin Coast or north along the sugar cane fields of the North Coast.

Drakenberg Mountains
Known to the Zulu people as Ukhahlamba, or the Barrier of Spears, the spectacular Drakensberg Mountains are, at certain peaks, as high as 3 000 metres (9 843 feet) . This mountain range is also the source of the Tugela River, the largest in the Province – the Tugela Falls is the second highest waterfall in the world. The Berg, as it is commonly called, is popular with hikers, rock climbers, trout fishermen, and other holidaymakers. For the more adventurous there are also many trails which use caves up in the mountains for the overnight stops. During winter the escarpment is often covered in snow, transforming the area into a winter wonderland. |
Greater St Lucia Wetland Park
The Greater St. Lucia Wetland area, Africa's oldest nature reserve and a World Heritage Site, is the largest estuarine system in Africa. The area embraces five ecosystems: Marine, Eastern Shores, St. Lucia Lake, Mkuze Swamps and Western Shores. This diversity offers the nature lover a rich variety of outdoor and wildlife experiences. With its lakes, lagoons, freshwater swamps and grasslands, St. Lucia supports more species of animal than the better-known Kruger National Park and the Okavango Delta, although these areas are much larger.

Natal Midlands
The Natal Midlands is the lush farmland area lying between the Drakensberg Mountains and the KwaZulu-Natal coastline. The arts and crafts trail of the area, the famous Midlands Meander – is a unique mix of more than 160 places to eat, drink, sleep and shop. Started many years ago as a voluntary collection of crafters, who wondered if they could attract visitors to leave the beaten track and explore their studios and galleries, the Midlands Meander has grown into an eclectic and fascinating mix of arts and crafts, world-class restaurants and homely comforts, with a wide range of sporting, environmental and historical interests thrown in too.

Zululand
Rich in symbolism and tradition, Zululand is the heartbeat of Africa. It was here that Shaka, the King of the Zulus, forged his Zulu Kingdom, and the last battle of the Anglo-Zulu war was fought. Zulu kraals and villages in the region display the traditional Zulu way of life to visitors. There are several exciting traditional Zulu villages open to the public, Shakaland and Duma Zulu amongst them. Shakaland is built on the site of Shaka’s original kraal. The village introduces the visitor to Zulu history, culture, medicine and beer, and the traditional dancing is a show for all ages. Zululand is also home to an astonishing variety of wild game. Phinda Private Game Reserve in Zululand offers the finest accommodation in spectacular surroundings.
