The Natal Midlands of South Africa offers tourism opportunities that are unparalleled anywhere in South Africa. The Natal Midlands is the fertile cradle of land found between the Sunshine Coast and the craggy Drakensburg Mountains. The Natal Midlands offer waterfalls, lakes, dams, Zulu cultural villages, game reserves and historical battle sites. The Natal Midlands also has some of the most historic battle sites in the region.
It was here in the Natal Midlands that the Boer met the British and the Zulu Impis met both! The climate is pleasant most of the year; summers tend to be hot, while winters are very mild. Albert Falls Nature Reserve, Estcourt, Howick, Midmar Nature Reserve and Mooi Rivier all fall into the Natal Midlands region of South Africa.
