Kwazulu Natal and the north coast
KwaZulu-Natal stretches from the Drakensburg Mountains in the northwest to humid, sub-tropical coast in the southeast. The battlefields of Zululand are filled with fascinating history while the golden sandy beaches of Maputaland, in the far northeast of the region, stretch for 200km along this glorious piece of coastline. The handful of luxury lodges we recommend in KwaZulu-Natal are all situated in areas of great beauty and isolation.Properties
