Cape Town and Kwazulu Natal Self Drive Holiday

This luxury self drive holiday takes in the beautiful city of Cape Town followed by a 3 part tour around the province of KwaZulu Natal on South Africa's rugged East Coast. KwaZulu Natal offers a sub-tropical climate, making it an ideal place to stay during South Africa's winters. It is particularly known for its spectacular Indian Ocean beaches, its interesting Indian and Zulu cultures and its abundant Big 5 game reserves.

You will start in Cape Town visiting the many tourist attractions including the V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain, Robben Island and Cape Point. You will then journey to KwaZulu Natal's coastal city of Durban, a short flight from Cape Town. Here you will spend your time in the small town of Umhlanga Rocks, most famous for its historic lighthouse and endless beach promenade filled with runners, dog walkers and surfers. We recommend lounging by the pool or swimming the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, however, if you want to do further exploring, the city of Durban does offer a range of activities.

Of course, we have included a magnificent safari so as you can experience all that makes South Africa a truly unique and much loved holiday destination. A 3-4 hour drive will bring you to Phinda Mountain Lodge in the private Phinda Game Reserve. Here you will partake in day and night Big 5 game drives and spend your down time relaxing by the pool or enjoying meals under the endless African sky.

For the final leg of your trip will travel further north, near the border with Mozambique to the area known as the Elephant Coast, one of the most remote in the country. It is a wild coastline of breath-taking scenery and natural wonders. You will stay at Thonga Beach Lodge where you will enjoy a wide range of activities from snorkeling and scuba diving, to forest walks, fishing, birding, cultural visits and turtle tracking (in season). This is an extra special place of exquisite natural beauty. It will revive your sense and be the perfect end to a diverse and fun-filled holiday.
