Top 6 Photography Tours in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

February 21, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

KwaZulu-Natal (/kwɑːˌzuːluː nəˈtɑːl/; also referred to as KZN and known as "the garden province") is a province of South Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulu bantustan of KwaZulu ("Place of the Zulu" in Zulu) and Natal Province were merged. It is located in the southeast of the country, enjoying a long shoreline beside the Indian Ocean and sharing borders with three other provinces and the countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Its capital is Pietermaritzburg and its largest city is Durban. It is the 2nd most populous province in South Africa, with slightly fewer residents than Gauteng.

Paul was an absolutely superb guide. His consideration and care for his customers was exceptional, right from pick-up at the airport and drop-off in suburban Durban, to dealing with all aspects of the practicalities of a safari. We stayed for two nights at Hilltop camp in a family chalet (breakfasts and suppers included), and found the facilities very welcoming. Watch out for the cheeky gangs of Vervet monkeys, though! The food was very good (I recommend the excellent a la carte Kudu steak). The swimming pool was welcome between game drives, as were the small shop and veranda bar with wide views. We saw three of the big five very quickly, but Paul's immense experience allowed us to get so much closer over the three days. We almost became a part of a small herd of elephants as they walked by us on a small road, and we sat and watched groups of buffalo and rhino from metres away. The big cats eluded us, but Paul's enthusiasm for all wildlife more than compensated. I started to keep a tally of bird species (50+ new to me on my first visit to SA), and Paul kept introducing us to the smaller, easily overlooked aspects of nature that I suspect most guides ignore. He managed to enthuse our jaded 12 year old twins about dung-beetles, and (glow-in-the-dark!) scorpions, but his trick for hunting wolf spiders was simply jaw-dropping! I cannot recommend Mzansi (and Paul in particular) highly enough.

We booked an April 2020 trip to Sicily with Gregg at Side Street Explorers. Of course we, four Americans, were not allowed to travel to Italy in April. When, in May, it became apparent that a 2020 trip was out of the question, I asked for our deposit back. For two months Gregg assured me that, as he had received the money back from the Italian lodging, he was sending the money tomorrow, then the next day, then the next day. Then he stopped answering my calls and emails. I've got my credit card company working on this now. The tour sounded amazing -- it no longer is offered -- and I'm sorry that we never got to go on it.

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.

My husband and I stayed over at the Ghost Mountain Inn recently. We only stayed over for one night, but had we known it was so wonderful, we would have stayed longer. The grounds and swimming pools are beautifully maintained. We stayed in a garden room which was very clean and comfortable, with a lovely view out to the garden. The staff was exceptionally friendly and very helpful. We were able to arrange a boat cruise without any hassles. The dinner , breakfast and lunch were all very tasty and well-prepared. In the evening a lovely atmosphere was created outside with the lamps being lit in the garden and around the pool area. We will definitely recommend this gem to travelers who are planning a trip to this beautiful part of the country.
