Today is a special day in sunny South Africa, our President, Jacob Zuma, turns 69 today!
President Zuma was born in the beautiful province of Kwazulu Natal and spent his childhood exploring the valleys and hills that make up this spectacular part of our country!
Called the Kingdom of the Zulu, KZN is home to a diverse spectrum of people, landscapes and experiences. From the Valley of 1,000 hills dotted with rural villages and seemingly never ending hills that unfold at your feet as far as the eye can see to the battle fields of the past wars between British soldiers , Zulu warriors and Boer trekkers. This is a truly fascinating part of the country and has some incredible game reserves dotted about.
To the north you will find the Midlands and beyond them the towering Drakensberg Mountains. These mark the border with neighbouring Lesotho but also play host to some of the most spectacular climbs in the country and the second highest waterfall in the world – the Tugela Falls!
To the south you reach the aptly named Wild Coast and to the east is the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is the play ground of the sun loving holiday maker. Durban is the main attraction on this stretch of coast with a magnificent harbour, aquarium and some of the best surfing in the country. A brand new stadium and airport complete this world class cities pedigree.
If you want to explore the province that saw the birth of our quirky President or the marvels that surround it, please contact us and we can help tailor make your trip to sunny KwaZulu Natal where summer never ends on the coast and where snow covers the interior mountains during winter.
