Midlands: Where Nature, Creativity & Tranquility Meet
Tucked between the majestic Drakensberg Mountains and the vibrant city of Durban, the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands is a storybook escape filled with rolling green hills, misty mornings. From working farms and old windmills to charming estates and boutique hotels nestled in green valleys, this region is unmatched in natural beauty and rural charm.
Follow the iconic Midlands Meander, a scenic route that stretches from Howick to the Windmills on the N3 towards Johannesburg. Along the way, discover hidden gems – cosy cafés, craft breweries, art galleries, waterfalls, and wildlife.
When visiting this destination, don’t miss the Nelson Mandela Capture Site, a moving tribute to South Africa’s history and Madiba’s legacy. Explore the striking sculpture, walk the interpretive trail, and pick up meaningful memorabilia at nearby coffee shops.
Whether you’re seeking inspiration, romance, or a peaceful break, the Midlands offers warm hospitality, rich culture, and unforgettable views at every turn.
