• Howick Falls - Begin the day with an early departure from Durban. As the coastal city fades into the distance, the scenery transforms from rolling hills and sugarcane fields to the picturesque Midlands, celebrated for its lush greenery, farmlands, and charming countryside. The first destination is Howick Falls, a magnificent waterfall that cascades 95 meters into a deep pool below. Locally known as “KwaNogqaza” (the place of the tall one), Howick Falls is rich in local legend and offers a stunning backdrop for photography and storytelling. There will be time to take in the views, explore local curios, and admire the beauty of this natural marvel.
• Nelson Mandela Capture Site - The journey continues to the nearby Mandela Capture Site, a significant heritage landmark in South Africa. It was here, on 5 August 1962, that Nelson Mandela was arrested, leading to his 27-year imprisonment. Today, the site features an award-winning visitor center and a remarkable sculpture made of steel columns that, when viewed from a specific angle, reveals Mandela’s portrait. Exploring the museum and memorial is a poignant experience that offers insight into South Africa’s history and the sacrifices made in the fight against apartheid.
• Drakensberg Mountains - The tour then heads further inland to the magnificent Drakensberg Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The drive is breathtaking, with expansive vistas and towering peaks emerging as the mountain range draws near. Upon reaching the trailhead, embark on a hiking adventure tailored to your pace and ability. Whether choosing gentle paths along valleys and streams or opting for more challenging routes leading to viewpoints, the Drakensberg presents scenery that is truly awe-inspiring.

After hiking, enjoy a lunch break at your own expense before starting the return journey to Durban, arriving around 6pm.
