Kwazulu Natal is one of South Africa’s most diverse regions with mountains, beaches, battlefields and bush. A major drawcard to this region is its subtropical climate and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. For those looking to relax the KZN Coastline has pretty beaches and golf courses. The Drakensberg and Midlands area is home to the highest mountains in Southern Africa and there are Big Five Game Reserves such as Umfolozi Hluhluwe, Phinda and the St Lucia Wetlands so you can enjoy exclusive Kwazulu Natal Safaris. Visit the Natal section on our website.

Over to Patricia – This is her KwaZulu Natal Story.

“I don’t suffer from insanity but enjoy every minute of it” Edgar Allan Poe It wasn’t a difficult decision to lunch at Elements on a perfect summer’s Saturday afternoon at the magnificent Beverly Hills Hotel. Durban is strangely lacking in decent beach front bars and restaurants although with the fantastic new promenade hopefully this will [...]

Françoise is the ebullient French owner and wife of the inspirational conservationist Lawrence Anthony. Thula Thula is one of our favourite places in South Africa and the epitome of substance over style. Françoise is the Catherine Deneuve of the African bush, bringing some Parisian panache (not to mention sublime cuisine) to the outskirts of Hluhluwe [...]

“Don’t sweat the petty things. And don’t pet the sweaty things.” I was greeted at the Engine Room by a teeny, tiny and scolding hot towel. A curious thing in which I felt compelled to smother my face despite very recently having stepped out of a shower after a pre-prandial jog in the Durban humidity. [...]
