Africa specialist operator Rainbow Tours (www.rainbowtours.co.uk) has introduced a new self-drive tour around the South African region of KwaZulu-Natal to tie in with the launch of British Airways' new direct service to Durban. As an introductory offer, this new trip is being offered with a saving of up to £785 per person for a limited timeframe.  

BA will fly to Durban three times a week from 29th October 2018, offering the only direct route to the destination from the UK.

“Durban is South Africa's second largest city and the gateway to a region rich in culture, historic sights, adventure activities and epic landscapes,” comments Rainbow Tours' Africa product manager Candice Buchan. “BA's direct flight will encourage more Brits to explore KwaZulu-Natal and this itinerary is designed to showcase some of its main highlights on a two-week trip.”

On the new KwaZulu-Natal – Self-Drive trip, visitors will arrive in Durban and drive straight to their first stop – Montusi Mountain lodge in the Drakensberg – where they will have three nights to explore the mountains through hikes, horse rides and other optional outdoors activities. Travelling northeast towards the Battlefields, they will tour famous sites such as Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift where the Anglo-Zulu War changed the course of South Africa's history, during a three-night stay at Fugitives' Drift. There's the chance to spot wildlife in Hluhluwe Game Reserve with all meals and safari activities included during a three-night stay at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge before the final three nights of the trip are spent at the iconic Oyster Box Hotel on the coast just north of Durban.

For a limited timeframe, each of the lodges included on this KwaZulu-Natal – Self Drive trip is offering three nights for the price of two. This offer is valid for those travelling between 29th October and 17th December 2018, representing a saving of up to £785 per person. The introductory offer price during this date window starts from £2,695 per person including direct flights with BA to Durban, accommodation (six nights B&B, three nights half board, three nights full board), car hire and activities as specified within the itinerary.
