👍👍 WARNING: The last 6km of road REQUIRES a 4wd. I undertook this road in a low rental car, and while the car made it down the road and back, we needed to exchange it for a new rental car the next day. To get there even from Dundee, it’s approximately 23km on a dirt/gravel road, in varying conditions...

👍👍 Besides the windy dirt roads getting to GibaLand is quite fun. GibaLand itself is packed with stunning sceneries, waterfalls and African bush. It is a great place to go hiking, it also has a play area for the kids to keep entertained. Cafe Umfula offers KZN's best pizza and exceptional staff, with a...

Sappi Stanger Bird Hide
Bird watching area
😐 A bit off the beaten track. You’ll first need to get keys to the gate from the security at Sappi to enter the bird hide. I’d recommend researching what times the different birds are usually spotted. The hide is well maintained, safe and a good quiet spot.

Mount Everest Guest Farm

👍👍 Often you get what you pay for, sometimes though, you get more than you expected! That was my experience of Mount Everest game farm. We needed a quick weekend get away from the city and some peace. Kobus was amazing from the start, he was in constant communication (even though my e-mail server sent...

👍 Don"t miss this hot spot while driving the road circles. 🦅 🏞️ ⛰️ An interessant visitors info desk inside the center while you are waiting for some of these impressive guys, I unfortunately didn't see anyone, anyway, it"s worth the trouble.
