Introduction

With a country as vast as South Africa, it is quite tricky to decide which part to visit first. If you are interested in wildlife, scenery, history and culture, then this is the tour for you. This self drive tour takes in the majestic Drakensberg Mountains, the famous battlefields of Rorkes Drift and Isandlwana, followed by two game reserves before finishing with a stay on the coast of KwaZulu Natal. It will give you opportunites to hike, see rock art paintings, have stories of the Boer war brought alive with an incredibly knowledgeable war historian, view super wildlife and then to simply relax on the shores of Umhlanga.
