Depart from Durban at 7:00am and head off to Howick Falls en route to the Drakensberg Mountains

• Howick Falls

  2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free

  From Durban we drive past Pietermaritzburg and our first stop is Howick Falls. The Howick Falls view from the top, in particular, is pretty inspiring, and the volley of water mesmerising. The waterfall is a 95 metre 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

  3 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  From Howick Falls we proceed to Nelson Mandela Capture Site which is only a short distance from Howick Falls. Nelson Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962 outside Howick, 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. We first visit the museum before proceeding to the world famous Nelson Mandela Monument which is within the same grounds for photographs etc...

• Drakensberg Mountains

  20 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  From the Nelson Mandela Capture Site we proceed to the 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 kilometres 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. We enjoy the bush at the mountains where we encounter many different types of plants, flowers, insects, and a variety of other wildlife. On arrival in the Drakensberg, we take a brief tour of the area before we find our way to the hotel for the night.
