Information, activities, safari tours and adventure travel in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa.

The South Coast offers a subtropical garden paradise & some of the finest golf circuits in South Africa, but the region’s true beauty lies in its golden beaches, coastal dune forests and long summer days. Emphasis is on outdoor attractions with big game fishing and scuba diving at Aliwal Shoal, one of the top ten diving sites in the world.

Eventually the subtropical bush gives way to the rolling green hills of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. Boasting cooler evenings and less humid days lavender, thyme, sage and other Mediterranean herbs flourish. Perhaps best known of the attractions is the “Midlands Meander”, a charming collection of plant nurseries, art and crafts shops and stalls, restaurants and tea gardens – all tied together by a network of winding roads. Durban residents often escape to this area for a weekend in the country.

Visitors travelling north will be left breathless by the unspoilt beauty of the rugged beaches and lush, undulating hills of Northern KwaZulu-Natal. The coastline is known as the Dolphin Coast, because of the vast number of dolphins seen frolicking and surfing in the azure waters of the warm Indian Ocean.

Wildlife highlights nearby included what is probably one of the most famous wetlands in the world – the St. Lucia Estuary. In addition to the “Big Five”, KwaZulu-Natal is home to the largest concentration of black and white rhino in the world, administered by the KZN Nature Conservation Service. The ecosystems of this area, coupled with the charisma of the mighty Zulu Kingdom are an immense attraction to any visitor.
