Classic KwaZulu Natal Beach Holiday

The scenic KZN North Coast, with its dense coastal forests and secluded beaches, provides you with an idyllic location in which to relax. And relax you will: Zimbali Lodge offers impeccable service where you'll be treated like royalty, allowing you unlimited time to explore the unspoilt coast.

Take leisurely walks along tranquil beaches, go bird watching, take a horseback ride, enjoy spa treatments or play a round of golf on the nearby 18-hole course.

Drive from Zimbali Lodge to Thonga Beach Lodge, a classic beachfront luxury lodge situated in the Isimangaliso Wetland Park and where peaceful seclusion awaits. Settle in and amble through the indigenous milkwood forest to reach the vast, pristine beach.

Explore this amazing region on guided walks and bird watching trips before heading underwater on snorkelling and scuba diving excursions. There's plenty to see on a canoeing safari on Lake Sibiya, part of the Greater St Lucia Wetland, and the lake comes complete with hippos and crocodiles.

To beat the midday heat, take it easy beside the swimming pool or enjoy a cocktail at the bar. For those needing a little pampering, the lodge also has a rejuvenation spa where you can revitalise body and mind.

Today you will drive to Audacia Manor in Durban. Situated in Berea, this colonial manor house, with its impressive views of the sea and beautiful gardens, has an imposing location and after settling in you can take a peaceful stroll across its rolling lawns and head to the croquet lawn to enjoy a sophisticated game of croquet or bowls while absorbing the warm Durban sun.

Drive to Durban International Airport and return your rental car for the end of your KZN adventure.
