   Howick Falls

   30 min

   From Natal Lion Park we head to Howick Falls. Howick Fall is 20 minutes from Pietermaritzberg. Howick Falls are simply breathtaking, and the deafening rush of water from the viewing deck is incredibly relaxing and mystifying at the same time. At 95m, they're the same height as Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and date back to when Kwazulu Natal was first inhabited by man. Several arts and crafts stalls can be found on the viewing platform and along Morling Road which leads down to the falls.

   Nelson Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962 outside Howick,

   Underberg

   15 ore

   From Nelson Mandela Capture Site we take a drive in the Natal Midlands as we head to Underberg for the night. Right at the foot of the majestic mountains of the southern Drakensberg, Underberg is a little town that exudes a lot of charm. In fact, it has the kind of ethereal beauty that can only come from looming mountains, lush greenery, and the endless blue of African skies. This part of KwaZulu-Natal is supremely tranquil, but also offers so much in the way of trails and outdoors adventures.

Overnight accommodation at Cedar Gardens or similar hotel is included.
