Experience royal majesty in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal is blessed with a rich cultural heritage, as well as a beautiful and diverse landscape. Of particular interest to tourists wanting to experience something other than Durban's commercialism is the Midlands Meander, the only dedicated arts and crafts route in South Africa.

Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate all that the Albert Falls Dam Nature Reserve has to offer, with its fishing, game viewing and rock climbing. KwaZulu-Natal has a number of wilderness, forest and game reserves, such as the Ithala (or Itala) Game Reserve, the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Par and the Royal National Park.

Adventurers can look forward to some excellent hiking and mountain climbing in the Drakensberg, canopy tours in the Karkloof Forest Reserve and hot air ballooning and microlighting across the meander and mountains.

Music lovers should pencil in the Splashy Fen Music Festival, which is held over four days on a farm near Underberg. The Vine Budding Festival proves that the Western Cape isn't the only province with outstanding viticulture.

Keeping with alcoholic pleasures, KwaZulu-Natal has the only Brew Route in South Africa. The route celebrates all that is good about beer making between the Natal Midlands and Zululand.

You can work off the indulgences on the Drakensberg Experience, a route of celebrated hiking and mountain climbing trails for all fitness levels.

Accommodation in KwaZulu-Natal is as varied as its attractions. Mountain resorts and lodges combine 5-star luxury with more affordable comfort in self-catering chalets and camping sites. In the Meander you'll find any number of guest houses and B&Bs where the owners make it their personal mission to make you as comfortable as possible.
