Phinda | North Coast/ Zululand | Drakensberg | Battlefields | Thanda | Nambiti Game Reserve

The Zulu Kingdom, Natal, The Last British Outpost, KwaZulu Natal. The names the province has been known as over the years, are as diverse as it's landscapes and it's character.
It's main Tourist attractions for many years were of course the beaches of Durban and the South Coast but KwaZulu Natal is blessed with an incredibly diverse landscape which includes the magnificent ranges and peaks of the Drakensberg mountains further inland Oribi Gorge to the South and the wetlands in the north to name just a few.

More recently KZN has nurtured a growing game lodge population in it's northern areas as well as just a stones throw from the Drakensberg mountains, the relatively new Nambiti Private Game reserve.
The province also boasts Battlefields lodges and in case that wasn't enough choice, there are some very good Dive Lodges up and down the coast.

The discounted rates from the Game Lodges may be for SADEC residents only. We have dramatically reduced rates for our international guests and will always get them the best deal available so please ask us for details.
