KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal

Boasting sun, sea and a sub-tropical climate, it’s summer all year round on the golden coastline of South Africa’s sunshine city, KwaZulu-Natal.

KwaZulu-Natal has something to satisfy just about any type of traveller. Those seeking a seaside escape will love the warm water beaches scattered all along the coastline, either in the premier city of Durban or further north, where the silky sand becomes even more like a tropical island paradise.

Nature lovers will enjoy discovering KwaZulu-Natal’s two World Heritage Sites, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, that boasts over 30,000 preserved San paintings and majestic trails of South Africa’s highest mountain range and iSimangaliso Wetland Park, which includes the largest estuarine system on the continent.

Beyond its natural beauty, KwaZulu-Natal promises a number of enthralling, educational excursions, with trips to numerous points of interest including the battleground regions and the prestigious sites of the Zulu Kingdom.

Another one of KwaZulu-Natal’s many attractions includes its abundance of game-rich reserves. A short drive from the city centre takes travellers to the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve. Previously, the space was the hunting ground of the Zulu kings, now, it is protected to preserve the boundless wildlife that frequent the area. As KwaZulu-Natal is close in proximity to the Kruger National Park, travellers can easily add an exciting safari experience to their trip, pairing an exquisite game viewing and wildlife safari escape with scuba diving, snorkelling and other aquatic activities at the coast.

With endless natural beauty, enthralling political and historical sites, incredible game viewing opportunities and plenty more, a vacation to this vibrant, exciting and downright awesome South African city will make for a wonderful vacation.
