Top KwaZulu Natal Experiences

Go on Safari

KwaZulu Natal's northern safari region is home to some of the best safari destinations South Africa has to offer. The Pongola Reserve, Phinda, and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi are all formidable reserves that can match up to even the mighty Kruger Park.

Game drives, walking safaris and river safaris through big game territory are all top KwaZulu Natal travel experiences.

Visit the Battlefields

Some of the bloodiest battles in history were fought on KwaZulu Natal's battlefields. Gain true insight into South Africa's fascinating past: incredible tales of courage, victory and loss bring history to life as you gaze across plains, some marked with white stones where soldiers fell.

Fugitives' Drift Lodge, home of the late David Rattray, is run by people with such passion for what they do, you'll want to return again and again. Go walking or horse riding through the bushveld surrounding Three Tree Hill Lodge, overlooking a game reserve with rhino and giraffe.

Travel the Incredible Coastline

KwaZulu Natal has a 600km coastline nudged by the warm waves of the Indian Ocean. And with year-round sunny skies, any time is a good time to swim, surf, go game fishing or simply relax on one of the Blue Flag beaches scattered along the coast.

To the north are the sweeping beaches of the St Lucia Marine Reserve, a remote sanctuary known for world- class scuba-diving and snorkelling. Stay in Rocktail Beach Camp, a luxurious tented camp sheltered by a coastal forest a bit back from the beach, or further up this dramatically beautiful coastline in Thonga Beach Lodge.

Have an Adventure

KwaZulu Natal is a unique nature and safari destination offering an incredible range of activities. The area is a raw and rugged goldmine of diverse landscapes, with quad bikes, horses and boats are all waiting to take you on an adventure.

KZN is one of a handful of places in the world where you can tiger-fish. Eco-activities, scenic flights, cultural trips and high-adrenalin activities are also on offer. The best places from which to enjoy KZN activities are Phinda, White Elephant and Hluhluwe River Lodge.

Indulge in a Gourmet Getaway

Linger over award-wining cuisine and experience true feel-at-home hospitality in the gently rolling hills of the Natal Midlands. One irresistible course follows the next, after which you can ease any twinge of guilt with a walk into the foothills of the magnificent Drakensberg Mountains.

At Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse Richard Poynton whips up 6-course dinners bursting with intense flavours, while Hartford House is known for fine dining, as well as one of South Africa's top winelists.
