KwaZulu Natal Holidays
Holidays in KwaZulu Natal – Kingdom of the Zulus – give you the chance to immerse yourself in the culture and history of the mighty African tribe. Explore the famous battlefields where they fought the British and the Boers throughout the 19th century, and discover the peaks and cliffs of the Drakensberg Mountains, evocatively named 'Barrier of Spears' in Zulu.
As you hike routes and trails, over fields, escarpments and river valleys, you'll come across rock paintings created an incredible 2,400 years ago.
KwaZulu Natal is a multi-faceted gem. Beyond the historic battlefields and mountainous north-west you'll discover the humid, sub-tropical coast in the south-east, with golden beaches stretching for 200 kilometres along the glorious coastline. With such diverse terrain, the province also offers a number of game reserves where you can spot a plethora of wildlife.
