South Africa's Kwazulu-Natal
Kwazulu-Natal
Although a comparatively small province, Kwazulu-Natal has established itself as the premier vacation area among South Africans. It is here visitors will find the highest and most dramatic mountains in South Africa, the Drakensberg, a number of the country’s finest game reserves, and a landscape studded with memorials commemorating the great battles between the Briton, Boer and Zulu people. The primary allure of Kwazulu-Natal, however, remains its decadent sub tropical waters and clement climate.
It is along this breathtaking coastline of pristine beaches that South Africa’s third largest city and busiest port draws visitors from across the continent. Durban, a booming city complete with luxurious hotels and a thriving promenade, the Golden Mile, lures vacationers with a warm atmosphere and inviting coastline. But three hours northeast of the buzz that is Durban, discover Zululand, where a wonderful selection of game parks and nature reserves easily rival Kruger National Park. Hluhluwe – Umfolozi Game Reserve is the crowned jewel of this collection, and visitors will delight in the numerous white and black rhino that dwell within its bounds.
