The Battlefields
Big Five safaris
KwaZulu-Natal is home to some of the Africa’s leading game reserves, including the oldest on the continent, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi which has been credited with saving the white rhino from extinction. Careful conservation working alongside local communities is the keyword here. Camps in Tembe Elephant Park for example, protecting some of Africa’s largest pachyderms on the ‘Ivory Route’ border with Mozambique, are run in part by the local Tembe tribe.The Drakensberg Mountains
Perhaps the most spectacular sight in the Drakensberg Mountains – or the ‘Berg’, to quote the local nickname – is the Amphitheatre. In the heart of the Royal Natal National Park in the Drakensberg’s northern reaches, this 5km arc of rock soars up to 3,000m into the air in a dramatic escarpment that can be seen for miles. If you’re adventurous the hike to the top offers epic views, as well as a chance to spot mountain baboons and even the endangered bearded vulture, if you’re lucky.Durban
Elephant Coast
Encompassing South Africa’s first UNESCO site – the iSimangaliso Wetland Park – the Elephant Coast offers a swathe of protected white sand beaches fringed by coral reefs, hippo-filled wetlands and some of South Africa’s best bird watching. Head north to Kosi Bay for boat trips through mangrove-lined estuary channels and excellent snorkelling, or track turtles further south on Thonga Beach. Luxury lodges, supporting local communities and conservation, abound here.Midlands Meander
Stretching from Pietermaritzberg to the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains, this beautiful driving route through rolling countryside and quaint, rural villages was the brainchild of local artists and tourism entrepreneurs. Now a thriving cottage industry, a drive along the Midlands Meander connects you with basket weavers, potters, wood carvers, food producers and wineries, all linked by a network of locally run accommodations, hiking and biking trails.Our top South Africa self drive Vacation

This trip can be tailormade throughout the year and can be adapted to suit your interests, budget and requirements as necessary
Practicalities
While the main roads are tarmac, well maintained and well signposted, you’ll find that most rural roads are gravel, and will require some careful driving if you’re not used to the surface. Make sure you keep your seatbelt on and don’t use your mobile phone when driving – both legal requirements in South Africa.
Your bespoke tour operator will be on hand throughout your journey should you have any problems, and should provide you with detailed route plans, maps, advice and ideas to help you make the most of your trip.
