As one of South Africa's premier eco-tourism destinations, game reserves are bountiful in the KwaZulu-Natal Province.

Travel into the kaleidoscopic landscape that shapes the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa, and you are bound to discover an adventure playground beyond your wildest imagination. Wilderness parks, leisure destinations and outdoor escapes dot a range of diverse regions, encompassing everything from the laid-back Midlands and dramatic Zululand to the untamed Elephant Coast. 

KwaZulu-Natal Province also knows as KZN has staked its place as one of South Africa’s premier eco-tourism destinations, and visitors to this subtropical province will revel in just about every ecosystem imaginable. 

Lush wetlands and bountiful coastal forests, verdant grassland plains, the granite peaks of Ukhahlamba Drakensberg spearing high against the sky and a pristine shoreline where saltwater currents caress coral reefs and unspoilt, tropical beaches.

KwaZulu-Natal World Heritage sites abound, as does game reserves and nature conservancies teeming with a rich and diverse blend of fauna and flora and KZN is indeed a ‘place of many wonders’. Beyond the natural splendour lies the legacy and rich history of the Zulu people, who to this day revered by many historians as Africa’s mightiest tribe.
