This green province has the warm waters of the Indian Ocean with heavenly beaches bordered by lush sub- tropical vegetation on one side and the stunning, dramatic Drakensberg Mountains on the other. In between is the savannah plains loved by wildlife, and there are reserves and protected areas a plenty. This is the best province to combine a Bush and Beach holiday. The climate is temperate, so any time of the year works for holidays here.
San/ Bushman, Zulu, South African Indian and British colonial history is here to see. In the Sibudu Cave, occupation has been recorded from 71000 years ago, and there are future plans for this Stone Age site to be accessible to the public. South African history is packed into the diverse cultures seen in Durban making it the most truly representative city in the country.
