Tourism is fundamental to Kwazulu Natal’s economy and this itinerary brings visitors to areas concerned with preserving the natural and historical surroundings.

Our guide on this trip is local, and a qualified botanist: his wildlife spotting skills and knowledge of the flora and fauna will make for an informative and exciting experience. His knowledge of local cultures will provide a valuable insight when passing through different tribal areas.

Our entry fees to the Game Reserve help fund a conservation programme to save the endangered black rhino, whose number in Africa has dwindled from 14 000 to a pitiful 2 550 in the past decade. At the battlefields, we stay at a lodge built with the intention of providing employment opportunities for the local community and revenue to support the building of clinics and schools for the local Zulu village, which guests can visit.

The World Heritage Site of the Drakensbergs are managed by KZN Wildlife, who ensure that local communities benefit directly from the protected areas through managed natural resource use, craft markets, partnerships in eco-tourism developments and through a tourism levy.

To get the most from a trip to Southern Africa, and for a completely different perspective, it's worth extending a trip. Combination holidays allow for flexibility and variety, so in addition to a safari, extensions could include a few days on the beach in Mozambique, a short city break in Cape Town or a few days at Victoria Falls. There are also some really different choices, like a 4 day houseboat trip on the Lower Zambezi, or a fly-in visit to outlying villages and tribes in Namibia. For more ideas on extensions, click on the country of choice to the left and follow the 'Extensions' link.

Travel between the countries is generally easy, making it feasible for an extension to be in a different country to the main trip. Contact us for further information on trip ideas and on organising travel between countries.
