Why we love it

“Kwazulu Natal is a great option alternative safari option, offering wildlife lovers the chance to see the Big Five: elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard, plus the endangered black rhino, as well as cheetahs and hyena. It's one of South Africa's best-kept secrets, in which you'll be immersed in a proud, authentic African culture, the historic intrigue of the Battlefields, the beautiful Drakensberg Mountain range and pristine Indian Ocean beaches alongside its epic wildlife experiences. The safari lodges may not have big-name appeal, but you’ll soon find out they offer a unique and rich game experience experienced nowhere else on the continent.”

Destination

04 Jan - 08 Jan

Durban and the KZN Coast

The city of Durban is often overlooked by guests visiting South Africa, wrongly in our opinion. There is a vibrant atmosphere and it acts as the perfect starting point to exploring Kwa-Zulu Natal's game reserves, beach spots and the Drakensburg Mountains. The airport connects the region to the rest of the country and most flights arrive via Johannesburg.
