Durban - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
If you like camping, Hermits Wood in Garden Castle Drakensberg is the definition of a hidden gem: multiple hiking trails start from the campsite, only ten campsites (no electricity), view of the stars at night is breathtaking, swimming holes, bird life, etc. Zululand Lodge just outside of Hluhluwe is a nice "glamping" private game reserve. The property manager, Martin, loves his job and will make sure you have a wonderful experience. They provide all meals and a bush walk of the property to look for zebras, leopard, hippo, etc. They will also help you organize a tour of Hluhluwe. Midlands Meander is one hour away and a hilly beautiful area to explore. In Durban and surrounding neighborhoods: Sibaya trails, Umhlanga Nature Reserve, water sports, fishing, sports games, pop up markets.... - Sep 2024
