In Champagne Valley, in the Central Drakensberg region of KwaZulu Natal, you find Treks, Trips & Trails. It is beautifully set in the Drakensberg foothills near Winterton and is central to some of the best tourist offerings in the Zulu Kingdom.

Our specific aim is to add a little extra to your time in our beautiful province by showing you some of those hidden places and not so often travelled routes.

Some options to consider:

• Game reserve tours – see the ‘Big 5′ or even the rare white lions
• Birding trips – from birds of prey to a trip on Bell Park dam teaming with bird-life
• Sani Pass and Lesotho – up early or stay over at Africa’s highest pub

You have the luxury of customising your tour to best meet your wishes.
