Discover the natural beauty and history of the Natal Midlands on a day trip from Durban. Visit Howick Falls, the Nelson Mandela Capture Site, and the Drakensberg Mountains.
Depart from Durban and travel to the Natal Midlands. Stop at Howick Falls, a 95-meter waterfall that plunges into the Umgeni River below. The area is rich in natural beauty and local legends, making it a popular spot for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

Proceed to the Nelson Mandela Capture Site. A tour of the Nelson Mandela Capture Site offers a poignant journey into South Africa’s history, marking the spot where Mandela was arrested in 1962 before his 27 years of imprisonment.

Located near Howick in KwaZulu-Natal, the site features an impressive outdoor sculpture of Mandela's face, made from 50 steel columns that align to form his profile as you approach. The on-site museum tells the story of Mandela’s life, his fight for freedom, and the significance of his arrest in the larger struggle against apartheid.

Head to the Drakensberg mountains for a hike. Hiking in the Drakensberg offers an unforgettable journey through South Africa’s most dramatic mountain range. With towering peaks, lush valleys, and cascading waterfalls, the Drakensberg presents a hiker's paradise.

Trails range from easy walks through wildflower-filled meadows to challenging routes that lead to breathtaking viewpoints. Along the way, encounter diverse wildlife, and stunning panoramic views, all while being immersed in the rugged beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After hiking, take a lunch break, own expense, before commencing with journey back to Durban arriving at around 6 PM.
