Perhaps you’ll take a sightseeing tour of Durban, the country’s third-largest city, which underwent major renovations ahead of the 2010 World Cup, or enjoy an unforgettable adventure into the mountains to the Sani Pass and Lesotho. Sometimes referred to as the roof of Africa, the pass soars 2,876 metres above sea level, and its summit is accessed by 4X4 vehicles. Wildlife lovers might also choose to experience an overnight stay at the Hluhluwe Game Reserve, which is renowned for its role in rhino conservation.
