Zulu Land (Natal)
This was where I encountered the most African part of South Africa. It is also very varied in landscape: from snow capped mountains to Veldt, to swamp. I visited sugar cane farms in the Midlands, hit Durban and then went up the Indian Ocean coast towards Swaziland. I visited many wildlife parks on the way such as Huhluwe , St Lucia, etc. The game were abundant and conditions excellent. The people friendly and hospitable.
