Midlands Adventures – Where the Trails Never End
Welcome to the Midlands – KwaZulu-Natal’s original meander and still one of South Africa’s top spots for outdoor adventure. Just an hour inland from the coast, this lush, mountainous region has long been a cool escape from the humid Indian Ocean air.
Today, the Midlands is a haven for adventurers seeking space, scenery, and serious fun. It’s a mountain biking paradise, with trails for every level – from gentle scenic rides to hardcore downhill tracks. And yes, the pub stops along the way are legendary.
Love the quiet kind of thrill? This is the trout capital of KZN, with world-class fly fishing that’s as peaceful as it is rewarding. The region also serves up a sky-high perspective – glide over rolling hills in a hot-air balloon or take to the skies with a glider.
Still want more? Hike the green hills, hop on a quad bike, or zip through the treetops on the iconic Karkloof Canopy Tour – South Africa’s very first zipline adventure and still a must-do.
Whether you’re planning a family weekend getaway or a solo escape into nature, the Midlands offers an unbeatable mix of relaxation and action. Get your boots dirty – the adventure starts here.
