Activity itinerary

Howick Falls

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Your day begins with an early morning departure from Durban. As you leave the coastal city behind, the landscape changes from rolling hills and sugarcane fields to the scenic Midlands region, known for its greenery, farmlands, and charming countryside. The first stop is at Howick Falls, a spectacular waterfall plunging 95 metres into a deep pool below. Known locally as “KwaNogqaza” (the place of the tall one), Howick Falls is steeped in local legend and provides a dramatic setting for photographs and storytelling. You’ll have time to enjoy the views, browse local curios, and appreciate the beauty of this natural wonder.

Nelson Mandela Capture Site

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
The journey continues to the nearby Mandela Capture Site, one of South Africa’s most important heritage landmarks. It was here, on 5 August 1962, that Nelson Mandela was arrested before spending 27 years in prison. Today, the site hosts an award-winning visitor centre and an iconic sculpture made of steel columns that, when viewed from a specific angle, reveals Mandela’s portrait. Walking through the museum and memorial is a moving experience that provides insight into South Africa’s history and the sacrifices made during the struggle against apartheid.

Drakensberg Mountains

  • 6h
  • Admission ticket included
he tour proceeds deeper inland towards the majestic Drakensberg Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The drive itself is breathtaking, with sweeping vistas and towering peaks appearing as you approach the mountain range. On arrival at the trailhead, go on a hiking experience tailored to your pace and ability. Whether you follow gentle pathways along valleys and streams or tackle slightly more challenging routes that climb to viewpoints, the Drakensberg offers scenery that will leave you in awe. As you hike, enjoy panoramic views of jagged cliffs, rolling grasslands, and crystal-clear rivers. The region is rich in biodiversity, home to unique flora, endemic birdlife, and occasionally wildlife sightings along the way. Lunch break, own expense. Return back to Durban in late afternoon.
