About KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal is South Africa's most diverse province, combining Big Five game reserves, subtropical coastline, the dramatic Drakensberg mountains, and the proud heritage of the Zulu nation in a region that could fill an entire holiday on its own.

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi is the oldest proclaimed game reserve in Africa (1895) and was instrumental in saving the white rhinoceros from extinction. Today it offers excellent Big Five viewing in a scenic landscape of rolling hills that feels completely different from the flat bushveld of Kruger.
