Scenic KwaZulu Natal

Traditional home of the Zulu people, KwaZulu-Natal is widely known as the Kingdom of the Zulu. Many of its towns and rivers boast historical Zulu names and at its heart is the vibrant city of Durban or eThekweni . The South and North Coasts, famous for their sweeping white beaches and holiday towns, stretch out on either side of KwaZulu Natal's leisure capital. Further north lies the incredible Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, while in central Zululand the world-renowned Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park is the largest game reserve in the province and one of the oldest in Africa.  

The region is also known for its many battlefield sites and in the Midlands for spectacular views of rolling green hills and lush pastures. The high basalt crags and peaks of the massive Drakensberg Mountains in the west, soar to an incredible 3 482 metres. Its sandstone base, eroded over millennia, formed numerous caves which provided shelter for South Africa's original inhabitants, the Bushmen or San, who left behind a priceless legacy of rock art.
