Valley of 1,000 Hills

YOU CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE!
This whole meadow has been completely restored – you can walk over it using wooden walkways, but it is as it used to be: marshy! You’ll wind up in 3 feet of water if you walked out there now. The "general plan" was just getting approved and implementing the plan was proving difficult due to foot-dragging, when along came a giant flood in the early 90s that destroyed the whole neighborhood of residential homes built in the meadow and the large campsites called upper and lower river.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: Northern Natal – This is a huge area, but with the exception of a few major towns, like Ladysmith, Colenso, Dundee, Glencoe, Newcastle and Vryheid, this region contributes little to the industrial and commercial wealth of KwaZulu-Natal. It does, however house several major game-parks and tourist attractions. Steeped in history and the scene of some of the worst battles in South African history, between the Boers and the British and also the Zulus, this area has many museums and sites to visit.
