This tour suggestion (3-4 weeks) is starting in Pretoria (or Johannesburg if you want). After spending a couple of days in the capital of South Africa, the route is going eastwards to Nelspruit in Mpumalanga. Nelspruit is the gateway to the world famous Kruger National Park. After spending two nights and three days in the park the tour is going to Swaziland, the only still existing absolute monarchy on the African continent. From here the route is bringing us back to South Africa, namely to St. Lucia. From St. Lucia, from where you can easily visit the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park, the next stop is Eshowe, right in the heart of the Zululand. The tour suggestion is ending in Durban, the capital of KwaZulu Natal.
