Natal Midlands, KwaZulu Natal:

The Natal Midlands is the lush farmland area stretching from the foothills of the majestic Drakensberg in the west, to the sunny Natal Coast in the east. Numerous rivers make their way through the Natal Midlands towards the warm Indian Ocean and there are many indigenous forests in the region.

Between the coastal playgrounds and the majestic Drakensberg, there is an area of gentle pastoral beauty known as the Midlands. The highway meanders through rolling wooded hills and grassy plains scattered with towns, villages and hospitable country inns. On lush farmlands, plump cattle and thoroughbred horses graze. Although the great herds of highveld game which once wintered here are gone forever, sanctuaries throughout the region support large numbers and varieties of wildlife.

Snow-capped in winter, the Drakensberg is the country's grandest mountain range and an ever-popular holiday destination. Known to the Zulu people as Quathlamba: "the barrier of spears" the mountains provide a magnificent backdrop to the region.

Nestling in the valleys, fine hotels and leisure resorts offer comfortable accommodation and recreational options second to none. Fast-flowing rivers are frequented by anglers hoping for a record-breaking rainbow trout. Climbers scale the jagged peaks where eagles and bearded vultures fly; hikers and horse-riders follow nature trails. The less energetic shrug off city stress by drinking in the birdsong, the crisp clean air and the stunning views.

The Midlands Meander: The enchantment of the Midlands has long inspired many a visitor and resident to creativity and as a result, local artists, potters and weavers combined to create an arts and crafts route in 1985, which was to become the highly successful and popular Midlands Meander.

The route stretches from Hilton to Mooi River and boasts more than 70 stops ranging from art studios to craft, pottery and weaving workshops; from country hotels to famous schools; herb farms to tea gardens. It provides the opportunity to see craftsmen at work and purchase works at reduced rates, by buying directly from the artist. The area also offers birdwatching.
