Natal Lion Park

Natal Lion Park spans several hectares of virgin African bushveld. It is a haven for many different bird species and all sorts of trees. Here we encounter elephants at close range. We also encounter close range viewing of lions in a hair raising never to be forgotten experience.
Howick Falls
30m
The Howick Falls view from the top, in particular, is pretty inspiring, and the volley of water mesmerizing. The waterfall is a 95 meter cascade into a broiling, restless pool, regarded by the local Zulus with grave superstition, and said to be the place of the spirits of ancestors.
Nelson Mandela Capture Site
2h · Admission ticket included
From Howick Falls we proceed a little further to Nelson Mandela Capture Site. Nelson Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962 outside of Howick, KZN Natal, South Africa. He spent the next 27 years of his life in prison. The Nelson Mandela Capture Site commemorates this moment in history with a museum and a world renowned sculpture.
From Nelson Mandela Capture Site we drive in the Midlands until we reach the Drakensberg Mountains for the night.
Day 2: Tour of the Drakensberg, hiking, and return to Durban in the afternoon
Drakensberg Mountains

The Drakensberg region is extraordinary, thanks to the dramatically beautiful setting. This region is home to the awe-inspiring mountain range which is predominantly found in the KwaZulu Natal Province. The Drakensberg Mountain range is more than 200 kilometers long and combines rugged peaks with verdant valleys and spectacular backdrops. It creates a natural border between the kingdom of Lesotho and the province of KwaZulu-Natal.
On day 2 we go on Drakensberg Mountain hiking and really enjoy the mountain scenery.
