Its the incredible diversity that sets KwaZulu-Natal apart from other areas in South Africa. From sunny beaches to high mountain peaks, huge game reserves to traditional Zulu villages. It's awesome.
The Kwazulu Natal region is a mass of pastoral scenery and Zulu culture.
My suggestion
Travel during the day and with your own means of transport. It would be a shame to miss the extraordinary landscape that separate the main points of interest in the region.

Hiking in the Drakensberg or water sports on the Sunshine Coast? Why come here? I recommend you spend several days here, so that you can enjoy all that's on offer.
The Kruger National Park in one of the best known game reserves in the world, where you'll see a host of wild animals. Among them, you'll be able to spot the Big 5.
Even though Robben Island and Mvezo provide poignant links to Nelson Mandela, spending time exploring his history in Johannesburg will also show you how Madiba spent several years.
Stretching well over 200km, the Drakensberg range is a mind blowing blend of peaks and troughs. Numerous trails run along the length of this hiking paradise.
Durban is the biggest town in KwaZulu-Natal. Sitting on the Sunshine Coast, by the Indian Ocean, its American/Australian beach culture attracts surfers and water sports fans from all over the world.
