Introduction

This two week tour of KwaZulu Natal combines spectacular scenery, luxurious accommodation, gourmet dining, "Big 5" game viewing, culture and history.

Your self-drive adventure kicks off at the Oyster Box Hotel, a beautiful hotel offering colonial charm and a breathtaking seaside setting. Explore the stunning coastline and enjoy the warm Indian Ocean. Your next stop takes you through the green rolling hills of the Midlands onto Cleopatra Mountain Lodge nestled in the Drakenberg Moutains - your settling could not be more dramatic! Enjoy a host of outdoor activities which include hiking, horse riding and trout fishing. You can even visit sites where you can view Bushman Rock Art and learn about the fascinating San people. Continue north into the historic and culturally rich Battlefields region and spend two nights at Fugitives' Drift Lodge. Explore the internationally renowned Battlefields to relive some of South Africa’s amazing history. Your final two stops offer two different game viewing experiences. Phinda Game Reserve, where you are spoilt with the "Big 5" (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo) and Thonga Beach Lodge, a remote beach hideaway offering some of the best diving and a chance to track turtles. After a dream escape your drive takes you to Richards Bay, where you will return your rental car and board your domestic flight to Johannesburg. Spend your last night at the exclusive Four Season's Westcliff Hotel.
