The Midlands Meander – A Good Place
The Midlands Meander is South Africa’s oldest and leading destination for arts, culture, hospitality, adventure, conservation, and unique visitor experiences. Just an easy one-hour drive from Durban and four and a half hours from Johannesburg, the Midlands offers endless opportunities to explore, discover, and unwind.
Situated in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, the Midlands Meander is made up of five scenic routes that stretch from just beyond Mooi River in the north, to Hilton in the south, the Karkloof in the east, and the foothills of the Drakensberg in the west.
