South Africa vacation

KwaZulu Natal
KwaZulu Natal is often overlooked in favour of the Cape, even though it has all the ingredients for a wonderful two week vacation.

KwaZulu Natal has a wonderful subtropical climate, some of South Africa's best game viewing, great snorkelling and diving, picturesque walks in the Drakensberg Mountains, the history of the Anglo Zulu war and some of Africa's finest tropical gardens to wander in.

Discover one of the many idyllic coastal hideaways such as the luxurious Ballito Manor on the Dolphin Coast a little north of Durban or, more remotely Rocktail Bay the location for South Africa's best diving.   At Rocktail Bay when you are not on or under the water you can enjoy game viewing and birdwatching in the Tembe National Park . Or if you visit between November and March you'll be fortunate enough to see the immense leatherback turtles that heave themselves up onto the beaches to breed.

There is a fantastic selection of safari lodges in South Africa, including the luxurious Phinda by the Indian Ocean, Ndumo with its stunning wetlands, the rolling mountains and valleys of Hluwhluwe, and fascinating smaller reserves like Amakhosi , all of which will give you the opportunity to see the Big Five and provide enthralling and exciting big game safaris.

Travelling across the Natal midlands brings you to the great ranges of the Drakensberg Mountains. With impressive sites like Giants Castle to visit , and places like Rorkes Drift and Isandlwana the scene of the bloody conflicts between British and Zulus just a few hours drive away, this areas history will capitivate you.

Africa Exclusive knows the best places to stay in KwaZulu Natal, be they exclusive hotels or quaint country house properties you are assured the warmest welcome with excellent food and charming hospitality.
