Plan a Trip to KwaZulu-Natal
I’m Don Botterill, your host and tour guide.
My passion is showing off the best of KwaZulu-Natal with sight-seeing tours up Sani Pass into Lesotho, the Drakensberg mountains, the Battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal, and tours to the ‘Big 5’ nature reserves. I also do airport transfers to any part of the province. Reliability, safety, and comfort are the priorities. My tours are exclusive to one party and can be tailor-made for one or more days to any area of KwaZulu-Natal.
Take a breathtaking ride over Sani Pass, dive into history on the Battlefields Tour, or see Africa’s wildlife on the Big Five Tour. Whatever your pick, we’re happy to have you back.
