Pretoria - Durban Safari

Join this three-day safari on the most luxurious train in the world and experience
the splendour of KwaZulu-Natal. Take in the Big Five, a battlefields tour with a
world-class historian and unusual African ceramics. Experience the Nambiti
Conservancy – a Big Five private bush retreat set on 20 000 acres of malaria-free
bushveld with an incredible biodiversity including savannah, grasslands, thornveld
and tall acacia trees. The Sundays River flows through the reserve and has two
40-metre waterfalls with magnificent ravine bush, home to several rare bird
species. Situated on an expansive game farm, Spionkop Lodge – which adjoins an
11 000-acre nature reserve – is the perfect base for exploring the mountains, bush,
birds and battlefields of the region. The turn-of-the-century farmhouse has been
restored in the colonial style and the converted barn now forms a dining room
that boasts impressive views over the Tugela River and across the Drakensberg
Mountains. Ardmore Ceramic Art is a story about the Zulu people whose sense
of rhythm, colour, dance and song, as well as the spirit of the African imagination,
is exerting its influence on the other continents of the world. Visit
this charming centre in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands before
travelling through the Valley of a Thousand Hills to Durban.
