Called South Africa's garden province, this region forms the east coast of South Africa, stretching from Port Edward in the south northwards to the Mozambique boundary. The coastline enjoys a subtropical climate, with sweeping savanna in the east and  the magnificent Drakensberg mountain range in the west. The warm Indian Ocean washing its beaches makes it one of the country's most popular holiday destinations.

Visitors to KwaZulu-Natal can either disembark at Durban International Airport or the Durban harbour, or make use of the extensive national road network.

KwaZulu-Natal is an interaction of natural wonders, ultra-modern facilities, fascinating cultural imprints and reminders of a dynamic history - in the most breathtakingly beautiful and varied setting imaginable. Gateway to this unique holiday destination is the city of Durban, a city vibrant cosmoplitant harbour city with plenty of night life. The multi-culture of East, West and the proud Zulu nation, results in gourmet treats rarely found elsewhere. Many Indian families shipped in under the Colonial indentured-labour scheme chose to stay once their contracts had expired, and have ever since formed an integral part of the rich cultural mosaic. It's also why you'll enjoy the finest curries outside of the motherland! Across-the-board accommodation and highly efficient transport links make this tourist-friendly city an ideal launch-pad for unforgettable journeys of discovery and excitement.
