Hotels in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

KwaZulu-Natal is a subtropical province on South Africa's east coast, famous for its warm Indian Ocean beaches and the towering Drakensberg mountains. Summers (December-February, 80-90°F / 27-32°C) are perfect for surfing at Durban's Golden Mile or spotting rhinos in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, while winters (June-August, 60-70°F / 15-21°C) bring clear skies for hiking the Cathedral Peak trail in the Drakensberg without the humidity. You can also explore the Zulu cultural history at the Battlefields of Isandlwana in winter, or snorkel at Sodwana Bay in summer when the water is warm.
