KwaZulu-Natal, is the 3rd smallest coastal province in South Africa known for its scenic mountains, wonderful beaches lying to the north and south of its leading city – Durban and savannah grasslands inhabited by big game animals.

Of all these, Umhlanga and Ballito offer the best sea waves to experience an exciting beach culture with variety of KwaZulu-Natal accommodation. And Shakaland Cultural Village in Eshowe Cultural villages highlights the cultural traditions of the Zulu community.
Rough and prompt, smart and modern, rustic and rural; there is little doubt that KwaZulu-Natal is special South African province to be included in your Safari tour itinerary. It is the place where glossy malls can be found with poorly maintained city surroundings and action oriented adventures can be enjoyed along with soaking up some sun on beach. Mountain terrains differ with dry and flat savannahs, while the provoncial buildings in central roads flow with African lifestyle, noisy activities in markets are in sharp contrast to the peaceful tribal living in rural communities. Here tourists can interact with traditional Zulu community and take joy in exploring their culture and craftsmanship.
Come to its great wildlife – the rare aquatic species and Big Five animals (leopard, lion, buffalo, rhino and elephant) are worth visiting in the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. Additionally, activities like historic tours to the battlefields, hiking and sea surfing can be ensured in KwaZulu-Natal for getting the best experience of a South African safari with historical heritages and authentic highlights on offer.
