We explored the Drakensberg Mountains, where some of the highest peaks in Africa are found. Sights include the Champagne Valley, Cathedral Peak, and Royal Natal National Park.
A coupe days in the oppressive heat and humidity of the Elephant Coast, where we toured the wetlands and the iMfolozi Game Preserve, where Shaka used to hunt.
A drive through the Wild Coast, formerly the internationally unrecognized Republic of Transkei, a region that lags economically due to decades of neglect from the South Africa government. Now, we felt we had finally discovered Africa.
