Kwazulu Natal Parks

The Kwazulu Natal Parks offer superb accommodation in beautiful natural settings...... from the heights of the mountains in the Drakensberg Park, a World Heritage Site, through the tropical savannahs of Zululand where the "big five"- elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo and leopard -roam in Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park and on to the brilliant coral reefs of the Indian Ocean that fringe the lakes and wetlands of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, also a World Heritage Site. The best way to experience the parks of Kwazulu Natal is to fly into Durban and go on a tailor made self drive or guided safari to enjoy camping, wilderness trails, fishing, spectacular birding and wildlife of this scenic and culturally rich province.

ACCOMMODATION IN KWAZULU NATAL PARKS
A large variety of accommodation is available from reasonably priced chalets to tented safari camps and more intimate upmarket bush lodges, which come with your own ranger and cook - the ideal option for a small group,family or special event. Most of the game parks offer game drives and guided bush walks which can be booked on your arrival. One of the highlights of the Kwazulu Natal Parks is that there are many picnic spots and bush hides ( hidden place where you can watch the wildlife drinking at a waterhole) where you can get out of your vehicle and walk or relax, ideal for families with young children. We have personally visited each reserve in Kwazulu Natal and can advise you on what would best suit your budget and needs. Please contact us for more details and further ideas for a tailor made safari in Kwazulu Natal including the Natal parks.
