Washed by the
warm waters of the Indian Ocean, KwaZulu-Natal
(KZN) with its subtropical coastline, sweeping
savannah in the east and magnificent Drakensberg
mountain range in the west, generously caters for
just about every taste imaginable.
Known as the "Kingdom of the Zulu",
this province is a melting pot of African, European
and Indian cultures. KwaZulu-Natal boasts two World
Heritage Sites – the Greater St Lucia Wetland
Park and the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park. KZN (as
it is often abbreviated) offers fantastic beaches,
sunny weather, game parks, rolling green hills,
numerous sugar cane plantations and relics of the
great battles in South African history.
KwaZulu-Natal is best known as South Africa’s
local holiday destination, with holiday-makers
from the other eight provinces flocking to its
magnificent beaches. |
