Pietermaritzburg, Kwa-Zulu-Natal

Pietermaritzburg – Colonial style in the heart of South Africa

Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, is located in the middle of the Natal Midlands between Durban and Johannesburg. Reserve a holiday home or one of the beautiful hotels for your vacation to a city where the Indian, Boer and British culture melt.

The occupancy by the British can be perceived everywhere in Pietermaritzburg - even until now. Stroll through the streets, visit the City Hall with its domes and the fantastic bell tower, the Tatham Gallery or the Church of Vow. Have a walk through the magnificent parks and gardens which are minted by the English style or through the narrow streets with the well-preserved buildings in the Colonial Style.

You love the nature? Then you should start an excursion to the Midlands after having a good breakfast in your holiday home. The Albert Falls Nature Reserve is an idyllic scene for those loving water sports. Sailing, fishing or water skiing – even canoe trips are possible here. Enjoy the day and watch the birds and wild animals during their daily routine. You will be surprised how near you will be to the zebras, springboks, oribis or impalas here.

Thus the buildings of the city are minted by the different settlers, so it is with the food. You will feel the Dutch, English and Indian influence. Taste billtong, braai, kkoedoe meat or sweet potatoes.

The magnificent South Africa with its wildlife, its landscape, the hospitality of the people and the exceptional culture will remind you for a long time on your holiday in Pietermaritzburg.
