Visiting Durban In South Africa - Three Of The Best Day Trips From Durban.
Visiting Durban in South Africa - Three of the Best Day Trips From Durban.
There are many things to do when visiting Durban in South Africa and the variety ranges from entertainment of the young right through to the old so there is always something for every member of your family. Here are just three of the many choices that really are a once in a life time opportunity not to be missed!
Visit the small, culturally rich country of Lesotho on the wonderful Mountain Splendor - The Kingdom of Lesotho tour. An early start to the morning means that you will start this twelve hour tour with some of the best views and sunrise colours Africa has to offer as you travel through the KwaZulu-Natal midlands to the quaint farming town of Himeville. Here you hop into a four wheel drive vehicle that takes you up the picturesque Sani Pass through the border (so don't forget your passport!) into Lesotho. Once in Lesotho you will visit a Sotho Village and interact with the locals of this neighbourhood. After this special interaction you will have some lunch at Sani Top Chalet and begin your journey back through the rolling green hills of the midlands stopping at the magnificent Howick Waterfall.
Also within a day's visit from Durban is the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal. Home to 84 species of game, including the "Big Five" and a wide variety of bird species, this game reserve is guaranteed to give you a wonderful wildlife Safari. The tour leaves early in the morning and lasts about 12 hours and it includes closed vehicle game drives throughout the day taking you to the best places the reserve has to offer for game viewing. You will have lunch at the award winning Hilltop Camp looking over the vast scenery of the beautiful reserve.
Since you are visiting the lush green land of KwaZulu-Natal make sure you take a tour to Shakaland where you will experience the day to day activities of the local Zulu people who reside in their traditional Zulu kraal. You will travel through the tropical beauty of Zululand and nKwalini Valley where atop a hill overlooking the uMhlatusi River, the birthplace of Shaka, stands the largest Zulu kraal in all of Zululand. During your visit you will learn many interesting facts about the culture and traditions of Zulu life from the wonderfully welcoming people who are living it and witness the unique skills and artistry required to build their huts, make pottery, brew beer and craft bead-work and baskets. Sample some of their unusual beer and visit the isangoma (or witchdoctor) after which you will be invited to enjoy a traditional lunch in the kraal and watch the Zulus perform their local tribal dancing.
