Accommodation KwaZulu-Natal
Known as the “garden province” of South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal is a well-watered land of rolling green hills and a magnificent Indian Ocean coastline stretching some 370 miles (600 kilometres) from Mozambique in the north to the Umtamvuma River in the South. Much of the region’s northern half is occupied by the historic territory of Zululand: inland the countryside rises to the foothills and then to the massive heights of the Great Escarpment known as the Drakensberg mountains.

Durban is the province’s largest city, Pietermaritzburg its capital and 9 km to the west vies with Ulundi in the heart of Zululand for provincial capital status. KwaZulu-Natal’s predominantly rural economy is based on the vast sugar-cane plantations along its seaboard. Other major commodities include tropical and subtropical fruits (pineapples and bananas), dairy products, timber and maize. Coal is mined in the Newcastle area.

Black and white rhino are the main attraction of the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi park, while hippo, pelican and flamingo draw nature-lovers to the Greater St Lucia Wetland, declared a World Heritage Site in 1999.
