The Midlands Meander is one of South Africa’s true countryside treasures. This constantly evolving travel experience allows you to wind your merry way through the green heart of KwaZulu Natal, taking in the art galleries, artisanal craft shops, mom-and-pops farm stalls, country eateries, coffee roasters, indigenous forest, canopy tours, bush pubs, exclusive getaways, rustic farm cottages and other hidden tourism gems here in the so-called ‘Last Outpost’.

A mere stone's throw away from Pietermaritzburg, which is the start or for some the end of the Midlands Meander, there is a hidden safari paradise. There are no predators, but there are plenty of mammals, butterfies and birds, let alone the scenery to keep you enraptured. Activities for overnight guests, include, mountain biking, bird watching, fishing, exploring on foot and game drives.
