KwaZulu-Natal offers an extraordinary combination of pristine holiday destinations. Here we focus on beautiful wilderness regions for luxury safari getaways, and an idyllic beach destination on the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal where a spanking new lodge has opened in 2022. We have many other options too and would love to recommend some fabulous places for your next KwaZulu-Natal holiday.
Pakamisa Lodge, Zululand
