This trip is a complete package of Beach, Bush and Berg – ticking all the boxes of hidden gems in Southern KwaZulu-Natal.

It begins with three nights at one of the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast’s most iconic hotels – the Blue Marlin. The Hotel offers comfortable accommodation and a range of facilities to suit your needs. While at the Blue Marlin, you will explore some of the popular and renowned activities along the South Coast.

After soaking up the sun and dipping your feet in the sand, we will travel to Tala Private Game Reserve where you will enjoy a morning game drive and a picnic lunch immersed in the grasslands of Tala.

The last two nights of the trip you will find yourself in the beautifully manicured grounds of Little Switzerland Resort. Revel in serene silence, enjoy their hearty buffet carveries, crackling log fires and perhaps even some pampering at the spa.

After busy days at the coast and spotting animals in the game reserve, spend your time at Little Switzerland relaxing and enjoying the many activities that the resort has to offer.
