KwaZulu-Natal Safaris
Discover the Spirit
of South Africa’s Zulu Kingdom
Let KwaZulu-Natal ignite your sense of adventure! From mountain peaks to coastal wonders, vibrant cities to iconic wildlife reserves, this province offers a heart-stirring blend of natural beauty, unique cultural heritage, and exhilarating safari experiences. Embrace diverse landscapes, witness thrilling wildlife encounters, and discover the true soul of South Africa in the Zulu Kingdom on a KwaZulu-Natal safari.
KwaZulu-Natal, also known as “The Zulu Kingdom,” is a province as diverse as it is beautiful, brimming with activities and destinations for everyone. From the impressive peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains to the golden beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters, along with game reserves, the midlands, and battlefields, KwaZulu-Natal overflows with natural wonders. Visitors to KwaZulu-Natal will experience fantastic game viewing and safaris, rich history, a vibrant mix of African, Indian, and European cultures, and friendly locals.
Many begin their adventures in Durban, a seaside city and the gateway to the province, bustling with activity year-round. Durban’s beautiful beaches and coastlines are a major draw, but other seaside towns along the coast also offer charming beach getaways. The World Heritage Site iSimangaliso Wetland Park on the North Coast is a sublimely beautiful protected wilderness area.
KwaZulu-Natal boasts another World Heritage Site: the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, home to the impressive Drakensberg Mountains. Inland, the Midlands and the battlefields of the Zulu Kingdom provide insight into the fierce battles that shaped South African and British history. The province is home to several Big Five game reserves, including Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Ithala Game Reserve, and Phinda Game Reserve, all offering superb wildlife viewing.
With its temperate climate and variety of activities, a KwaZulu-Natal safari is a great year-round destination. Its top attractions are in close proximity, making it easy to combine multiple exciting activities and destinations into one trip. It also pairs well with other top South African attractions such as Kruger National Park and Cape Town.
