Naturist activities are written in green.

 

Day 1: You will be picked up at the King Shaka International Airport in Durban between 8 am and 9 am or at your nearby hotel and we go straight to our first nudist beach. This is a nice quiet beach located at the north end of Umhlanga beach. We can walk from the main beach (probably 2-3km) or from the Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve next to the Breakers Hotel. After spending some nude time and catch our initial tans, we travel north (3 hour drive) to St. Lucia a world heritage Unesco site. Here we stay at the Elephant Lake Hotel with spacious rooms, all standard with air conditioners (cooling only), wall safes, tea/coffee making facilities, 9 channel DSTV and en-suite with shower. You can choose one of the many nearby located cosy restaurants for dinner (not included).

 

Day 2: We get up early to start a full day safari at the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve, where 1,500 white rhino and 360 black rhino, buffalo, elephant, lion and leopard, blue wildebeest, zebra, giraffe water-buck, nyala, kudu, bushbuck, warthog, cheetah, hyena and 23,000 impala and 300 species of birds have been recorded. With 96000 hectares to explore we travel within the oldest proclaimed game reserve in Africa. The reserve is world renowned for its conservation of Black and White Rhino, just to imagine less than 120 years ago less than 100 Rhino’s existed world-wide. Today the reserve boasts hundreds of Black Rhino’s and of the largest population of White Rhino’s in the world. (Lunch include a Traditional South African Braai) After this Big 5 experience, we leave for the Elephant Lake Hotel, and discover some of the pristine and secluded beaches of the area. (L)
