Introduction

1 Sep 2027 - 11 Sep 2027

Join us on a KZN Dive & Safari Adventure!

Plunge into the wild heart of KwaZulu-Natal, where two of South Africa’s most iconic dive sites—Aliwal Shoal and Sodwana Bay—set the stage for an exhilarating marine-to-bush adventure.

Begin at Aliwal Shoal, a fossilized sand dune turned underwater playground off the coast of Umkomaas. Experience the vibrant reefs which host turtles, rays, and potato bass.

Enjoy a St. Lucia estuary cruise, gliding past pods of hippos and basking crocodiles in the heart of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Experience a heartwarming visit to Emdoneni Cheetah Project, where rescued wild cats—cheetahs, servals, caracals—are rehabilitated with care and purpose.

Then step into the soul of Zululand with a Zulu cultural experience, where rhythmic dances, storytelling, and village visits offer a window into centuries-old traditions

Continue north to Sodwana Bay, nestled in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Dive the southernmost tropical reefs in the world, teeming with over 1,200 species of marine life, from manta rays to rare Coelacanths, in waters that shimmer with coral gardens and year-round warmth.

Then swap fins for game drives in the Mun-ya-wana Conservancy, where lodges like Bayala Safari Lodge offer intimate Big Five safaris and immersive conservation experiences. Track lions at dawn, sip sundowners with elephants at dusk, and sleep to the rhythm of the bush.

Join us on this experience of a lifetime to experience nature both under and above the water.
