KwaZulu-NatalRich in tribal history, KwaZulu-Natal - the majestic Zulu Kingdom, offers a wide choice for the tourist – from golden beaches of the warm Indian Ocean to the Drakensberg mountains, explorations of Zulu culture and traditions in their authentic villages, historic battlefields such as those of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift where the glorious battles of the Zulu Empire were fought with Boers and British settlers and world-famous game reserves of Hluhluwe-Umfolozi where the white rhino was saved from extinction, to other smaller private game reserves. In addition to Durban, South Africa’s official playground, major attractions include two World Heritage Sites – the Drakensberg and St Lucia Wetlands Park. Excellent diving and snorkeling takes place along coral reefs. Endurance-sports fans flock to the Comrades and the Duzi Canoe marathons. |
