KWAZULU-NATAL

 

Washed by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, KwaZulu-Natal, with its subtropical coastline, sweeping savannah in the east and magnificent Drakensberg mountain range in the west, generously caters for just about every taste imaginable.

Known as the Kingdom of the Zulu, KwaZulu-Natal is a melting pot of African, European and Indian cultures. It boasts two World Heritage Sites – the iSimangaliso Wetland Park  and the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park.

Traditionally popular with holiday-makers, KwaZulu-Natal is South Africa’s busiest local holiday destination and is appropriately named “South Africa’s Garden Province”.  This lush, green province forms the east coast of South Africa, from the Mozambique boundary southwards to Port Edward. The coastline is dotted with small towns, many of which serve as seasonal recreational hubs, with a climate that is humid and subtropical. KwaZulu-Natal has superb beaches of world-class quality, which are to be found along virtually the entire coastline.

KwaZulu-Natal has eight destinations guaranteed to provide you with memorable and unique experiences! Contact us for travel solutions, vacation packages, tours and Kwazulu-Natal accommodation bookings.
