Reiseverlauf
Gegen 8:00 Uhr machen wir uns auf den Weg nach Pietermaritzburg, der Hauptstadt von Kwa Zulu Natal. Von Pietermaritzburg geht es weiter nach Howick, wo wir die 100 m hohen Howickfälle besuchen.
Wir setzen unsere Tour mit unserem nächsten Halt am Denkmal fort, das an der Stelle errichtet wurde, an der die Polizei Nelson Mandela 1961 wegen seines Widerstands gegen die ehemalige Apartheid-Regierung, The Nelson Mandela Capture Site, festnahm.
Von der Nelson Mandela Capture Site führt uns unsere Tour durch ein Gebiet von sanfter pastoraler Schönheit, das Midlands Meander genannt wird. Wir passieren grasbewachsene Ebenen, die mit Dörfern und üppigem Ackerland verstreut sind, auf denen fette Rinder und Vollblutpferde grasen. Erleben Sie den Midlands Meander - Die Routen erstrecken sich über mehr als 80 Meilen zwischen Pietermaritzburg und dem Weltkulturerbe uKhahlamba-Drakensburg, einschließlich vieler Nebenstraßen. Der Midlands Meander ist keine einzelne Attraktion, sondern ein Netzwerk von mehr als 150 Kunsthandwerkern, Aktivitäten, Restaurants, Unterkünften und Touren, die sich zusammengeschlossen haben, um die ländliche, aber kreative Midlands-Region von KwaZulu-Natal zu fördern.
Schließlich erreichen wir die Drakensberge. Es ist sehr friedlich. Genießen Sie die Berge, die Täler, die Landschaft, alles unbeschreiblich.

Hiking at Dragons Peak was the highlight.Spectacular views and our guide Mzwe was very attentive.Was great to have hotel pick up even though our hotel was in Kloof so full marks to the company there.Did another tour with African Sun safaris and unfortunately they use very old vehicles.My daughter has lived in South Africa for awhile so was prepared for this however the vehicles would be unacceptable to many International tourists.
We were met at the port and taken to an old very small car and advised that the air conditioning was broken, the back seatbelts did work and it will take three hours to get to Drakensberg. It was a hot day so we had to make the decision to cut our tour and only do the Nelson Mandela Capture Site and Howick Falls and a short drive around Durban. Our guide was very apologetic and did his best but it was so hot and uncomfortable in the car and to make matters worse, it wouldn't go over 80kph on the freeway. I did email the company asking for a partial refund but they never replied.
Our guide, Kudzi was a lovely young man but turned up in a very small old car with broken air conditioning and non-working back seatbelts and the car struggled to go more than 80kph. We had to drive 3 hours to the first stop so we decided that we would have to forego the first half of the tour as it was a really hot day and would have been too hot and uncomfortable to go that far. We ended up only doing Howick Falls and Nelson Mandela Capture Site and a short drive around Durban because of the heat. Kudzi was a good guide and very apologetic but the condition of the vehicle was unacceptable as a tour vehicle. I emailed the company about this but they have not replied. Not happy.
The tour kicked off late as the ship arrived late. The vehicle was in good condition and has a perfectly working aircon. The guides are under instruction to not exceed 100km per hour. We apologise that you did not have a good experience
Great experience with a very caring guide in a fantastic and very diverse Kwazulu Natal. Really worth it!
The vehicle used for the tour was an old Datsun, which was wholly unsatisfactory for a full day's driving tour owing to very cramped conditions in the rear for 2 adults, as well as being unsafe, because the rear seat belts were unavailable for usage due to a seat cover. The tour driver's driving skills were at times reckless with speed limits and road markings ignored. We were very relieved to return to our hotel without a major incident occurring. Howick Falls was nice to see, albeit the approach and viewing areas are in dire need of update and maintenance. The Mandela Capture Site & Museum was excellent. The Museum's memorabilia is comprehensive and the Mandela sculpture must rank as one of the best in the world and is highly recommended to go view. The 'Midlands Meander' drive towards the Drakensberg was very uninteresting. The roads are in large parts in very poor condition and the towns passed were very run-down. Eventually, the road towards Champagne Castle provided good viewing of part of the mountain range. We were very disappointed that this tour does not go into or amongst the Drakensberg mountains, unlike the headline picture shows, which is somewhat misleading. Nor does the tour have fixed stops for drinks/lunch/toilet; the driver stops for viewing/photos only if requested. Having engaged with several Viator tours in the past in various countries, I have found them to be generally very good: however, this tour ranks by far the worst I have done.
We are sorry that Lawrie did not find this tour to be confortable. The tour does take travellers to Howick Falls, Nelson Mandela Capture Site and the Drakensberg Mountains. The tour ends where the Drakensberg Road ends and it not possible to go beyond this point into the mountains except by foot. This again is not possible on a day tour.
The falls and the capture site were nice. We were expecting to reach the mountains but we were far from them. It was a long drive.
Dear Shawqi Thank you for choosing African Sun Safaris and also for your feedback. We really appreciate and look forward to doing even better the next time. Note that the 1 day tour does not go up the mountain as this is only done via the foot trails which is only available on the 2 day or 3 day tour.
The visit all the Howick falls and the Mandela museum were really interesting to do. We had a great time there! Although, the Drakensberg part is quite limited.. A long road for a small view of the moutain. Not what we were expecting with the price of that tour.
Thank you for choosing African Sun Safaris and also for your feedback. We really appreciate and look forward to doing even better the next time.
Beautifull and interesting tour. Tour guide was very polit and helpfull. Would have expected more Information dringend the ride from him.
Dear Anita Thank you for choosing African Sun Safaris and also for your feedback. We really appreciate and look forward to doing even better the next time.
This tour -The Magnificent Drakensberg 1 Day Tour From Durban was the best part of our holiday. Heads up to these guys. So much fun. Next time we will take the 2 or 3 day tour. The guide was super
The Drakensberg is a great place to be. However, the trip was rushed as there was not enough time. Is should maybe cover 2 days
