Itinerary
KZN Coast & the Drakensberg (7 Days)
7 days · 6 nightsPace: balancedSeason: April to September (mountain); year-round coastFor: Travellers who want warm water and mountains in one KZN week.
The 7-day KZN arc — Durban, the North Coast, and the southern Drakensberg — that pairs an Indian Ocean beach with a 3000m pass.
Why this route works
KwaZulu-Natal is the one province where you can swim in a warm ocean in the morning and stand on a 3000m pass in the afternoon — and a week is enough to do both, with the Midlands Meander as the join. This route keeps it to two bases (coast + Berg) so you're not repacking daily.
