13 Days in South Africa
Spend two weeks discovering the changing landscapes and fascinating history of KwaZulu-Natal. Begin your trip by exploring the coastal city of Durban followed by a scenic drive to the Midlands. Spend time in this rich farmland, home to stretches of rolling hills and charming towns. The next leg of your trip is across the mighty Drakensberg, a hiker's paradise. A Big 5 safari experience follows in the exquisite Phinda Game Reserve and ends on the shores of Kosi Bay.

Durban is South Africa's self-styled 'playground'. Its year-round warm weather, sun-kissed beaches, and temperate cerulean waters encourage visitors to take advantage of KwaZulu-Natal's outdoor lifestyle. The city's diverse and colourful culture is reflected in its cuisine, architecture, and countless markets. Tackle Surf City's warm waters with a board, kite, snorkel, jet-ski, canoe, or fishing rod. Sun worshippers can stretch out on the golden sand and surrender to the salty breeze, accompanied by the sound of breaker waves and seagull cries.
Located minutes away from the warm waters of the Durban beach front and right outside the Durban International Convention Centre, the Hilton Durban offers easy access to the central business district as well as several of Durban’s top attractions — ideal for guests visiting for business, pleasure or both.
The all-suite, 5-star Teremok Marine Lodge in Umhlanga is nothing short of enchanting. From its individually designed (and scented) suites, richly decorated spa and park-like gardens, to its exquisite location on Marine Drive (within walking distance of the beach)—Teremok will delight the senses and restore the soul.
Not unlike the iconic lighthouse just across the road, The Oyster Box is a coastal beacon of Umhlanga Rocks. Treat yourself to a relaxing massage at the spa or unwind by the pool with a drink in your hand. There is no wrong way to have a good time at The Oyster Box.

If ever there was a landscape that lived up to its airbrushed and hyped reputation, it’s the ragged, green stretches of the Drakensberg range’s peaks. Meaning ‘dragon mountain’ in Afrikaans, most of the mountain calls KwaZulu-Natal home while forming the natural border between South Africa and the Lesotho kingdom. The mountain’s vast, sweeping, basalt summits and sandstone cliffs are part of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hluhluwe (roughly pronounced shloo-shloo-wee) lies within the heart of Zululand on South Africa’s east coast. Surrounded by bright sugarcane fields and pineapple plantations, the village is located near the banks of the Hluhluwe River. This town is the gateway to the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park—home to the largest population of white rhino on the globe. Deeper inland, the lakes are home to carefree crocodiles, hefty hippos and an array of fish. The unspoilt beaches of St Lucia, Cape Vidal and Sodwana Bay are all easily accessed from Hluhluwe. Dolphins can be seen frolicking in the waves while humpback whales make their slow, annual migration to warm Mozambique waters.
