6 Night Beach & Battlefields 4 Star Tour

Day 01

On arrival at Durban International Airport, you make your way to the Avis Desk, and collect your rented car. From the airport you drive to Umhlanga Rocks, where you check in at the Protea Umhlanga Rocks for (3) nights on a bed and breakfast basis.

The name of Umhlanga Rocks evokes a vision of golden beaches, lush surroundings and the exhilaration of holidaying in an idyllic part of the world. And the Protea Hotel Umhlanga is where that vision turns to reality. Conveniently situated mere minutes from the beach, in the heart of Umhlanga Rocks, the Protea Hotel Umhlanga will treat you to comfortably appointed accommodation in an appealing selection of rooms. Admirably equipped self-catering rooms, as well as facilities for disabled guests, are also available, with all the mod cons as well as outstanding features such as satellite TV and breathtaking sea views of the Indian Ocean Delicious breakfasts are available in the breakfast room, while a variety of restaurants in the area have a range of menus to suit all tastes. Conference facilities are available for up to 200 delegates and there is secure, undercover parking on the premises.

Day 02 – 03

Days at your leisure to enjoy the warm waters and golden sands of the Natal north coast.

Day 04

Today you drive inland to the battlefields district of Kwa Zulu Natal. Here you spend (3) nights at the Babanango Rock Pools Bushcamp on a full board basis. Included in your stay is one guided tour of the battlefields in the area.

Zululand is an amazing place: it has a striking scenic beauty, a great diversity of animals and plants, a colourful and often dramatic history and a world famous people - the Zulus - with their fascinating culture. At Babanango Valley, situated at the heart of Zululand, we like to think that we are able to give you just a glimpse of Zululand - for a lifetime would be too short to get to see and know it all. Rock Pools Bushcamp Offers an affordable yet unique bush experience - an African dream experience, where good hospitality and service are blended in a relaxed informal atmosphere. The deck overlooking the river, is the gathering point for sundowners. At night the log fire and the floodlit river enrich the experience. On warm clear evenings, we do a bush braai for groups who book Rock Pools exclusively. Otherwise you may request that your meal is served at your cottage, where a barbeque fire will be lit and you barbeque your own meal. There are nine cottages under canvas, en suite with showers, decorated in an East African style with brass beds and cottage furniture. The cottages are individually located along the river, each with their own walled relaxation area and each with their own access to the river pools. If parents would like an adventure for their older children, three cottages have a place for a pilot bow tent, where children can sleep, provided with camping mattresses, sleeping bags and pillows. Rock Pools Bush Camp is ideal for private groups and small conferences - an exclusive African Dream.

Day 05 – 06

Days at leisure to enjoy Babanango Rock Pools Bushcamp and a guided tour of the battlefields.

Day 07

Today you take a leisurely drive back down to the Durban International Airport where you drop off your rented car.
