the Drakensberg and Natal Midlands
The
Natal Midlands and Drakensberg offers tourism opportunities unparalleled
in this fertile cradle of land found between the Sunshine Coast and the Lesoth
border. The Natal Midlands and Drakensberg Mountains are a myriad waterfalls,
lakes, dams, Zulu cultural villages, game reserves, historical battle
sites and dramatic mountains.. The Natal Midlands have some of the most
historic battle sites in South Africa. It was here that the Boer met the
British and the Zulu Impis met both! The climate is pleasant most of the
year; summers tend to be hot, while winters are very mild. Locations include
Albert Falls Nature Reserve, Estcourt, Howick, Notingham Road, Midmar Nature
Reserve, Mooirivier, Estcourt, Spionkop, Bergville and Weenen
The landscape is green and softly wavy, dominated by pastures and pine forests.
Numerous rivers of crystal-clear water from the Drakensberg highlands make
the Midlands the South African destination of choice for anglers. Particularly
popular is the almost meditative art of fly-fishing. Trout was introduced
to the Natal Midlands and Drakensberg Mountains back in 1889 by Scottish
settlers.
The Natal Midlands and Drakensberg areas offer excellent hotels, guest houses,
country lodges, restaurants and tea-gardens. The Midlands Meander route which
runs mainly between Howick and Nottingham Road is a delightful shopping and
browsing side-trip, including numerous antique shops, art galleries and arts
and crafts studios |
