The Kwa-Zulu Natal Colonial Route & Safari holiday is a 7-night itinerary that takes you back to the days of the British pioneers and the Zulu wars! Your holiday will kick off with 3 nights in the Spoinkop region of the Drakensberg, where passionate guides will awaken the stories from the dramatic battle of Colenso, to Churchills capture at Chieveley! We also recommend that you spend a day in the Drakensberg, perhaps taking a hike, or doing some horse-riding, while breathing in the fresh mountain air.

On day 4 of your holiday, you’ll set off on the beautiful drive towards Rorkes Drift, the heart of the Zulu-British wars. Here you will sit on the very site where the tragic battles of Rorkes Drift and Isandlwana took place as you are taken back into history and learn about the early pioneer days in South Africa. You’ll spend 2 nights at a family-run lodge before setting off on the final part of your Kwa-Zulu Natal colonial route & safari trip.

The final part of your trip brings you to a big 5 game reserve, close to the Hluluwe region. You’ll spend 2 nights here and go on a total of 4 game drives, starting with an afternoon drive on your day of arrival, and ending with a morning drive on your day of departure. In addition to the big 5, the reserve is home to a variety of other animals, including cheetah, wild dog and a large variety of bird species. During the day you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch and some R&R before setting off for the afternoon drive. You could even pamper yourself with a massage, beauty treatment, or both, at the lodge’s spa room!

The Kwa-Zulu Natal Colonial Route & Safari holiday is the ideal itinerary for those wishing to explore the more remote areas of South Africa, while at the same time learning a bit about the fascinating history of the country.
