Fancy a road trip over Easter, but not sure where to go? Whether you are in the mood for coastal beach vibes or inland adventures, we\u2019ve got something for everyone.<\/p>\n

Before you hit the road, send your car for a service, make sure the tyres are in good shape and check your emergency kit is up-to-date and complete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s start planning\u2026these attractions in KZN, Limpopo and Mpumalanga, suggested by <\/span>Tracker<\/span><\/a>, are bound to inspire you to load the family into the car and start exploring:<\/span><\/p>\n

KwaZulu-Natal<\/b><\/p>\n

– Camping:<\/b> Pack the braai grid, headlamps and marshmallows and make the most of going off grid and enjoying evenings under star-filled skies. We love <\/span>Gibaland<\/span><\/a> in Durban, where you can also enjoy loads of outdoor activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

– Nelson Mandela Capture Site: <\/b>This is a cultural and historical exhibition that is situated at the\u00a0<\/span>site at which Nelson Mandela was apprehended for his anti-Apartheid activism acts in\u00a0<\/span>August 1952. The eye-catching sculpture at the Nelson Mandela Capture Site is made of 50 steel columns\u00a0<\/span>that are between six and 9.5 metres in height and cover a width of almost 30 metres. These\u00a0<\/span>have been cut by laser to form an image of the former president when viewed at the correct\u00a0<\/span>Angle. While you are there, going meandering in the Midlands, enjoy lady lunches and support local shops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

– uShaka Sea World: <\/b>For R99 you can explore the underground aquariums while\u00a0<\/span>meandering through a ship wreck. Prepare to be astounded by ocean water tanks populated\u00a0<\/span>with over 300 species of marine life and 10,000 sea creatures!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Limpopo<\/b><\/p>\n

– Tzaneen:<\/b> Home to Modjadji, the Rain Queen, this region is a lush haven of nature reserves featuring cycads and baobabs. With nicknames including \u201cLand of Silver Mist\u201d and \u201cTropical Garden Town \u201c you\u00a0<\/span>get an idea of its unspoilt beauty and why making a stop here is an absolute must.<\/span><\/p>\n

– The Kruger Park: <\/b>Visit the Park for the day with entrance fees ranging from\u00a0<\/span>just over R50 for children and R100 for adults. Do a self-drive adventure and take advantage\u00a0<\/span>of the scenery, wildlife and the designated picnic zones at one of South Africa\u2019s most well-known\u00a0<\/span>parks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mpumalanga<\/b><\/p>\n

– Feeling adventurous? <\/b>Keep the blood pumping with a visit to The Big Swing in Graskop. With <\/span>views for days, launching yourself off this waterfall will be something you will remember for\u00a0<\/span>a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Milly\u2019s:<\/b> If you find yourself in Mpumalanga, a popular pit stop is Milly\u2019s. At the restaurant\u00a0<\/span>you can find all the usual farmstall fare, but it\u2019s the trout that everyone speaks about. Try\u00a0<\/span>the popular trout pie, a trout sandwich or indulge in a cheese platter with trout pate.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Photo opportunities at God\u2019s Window: <\/b>Gods Window forms part of a 250km long stretch of\u00a0<\/span>breath-taking cliffs. There is a small entrance fee to access the viewpoint and there are stalls\u00a0<\/span>and toilet facilities available making it the perfect place to stretch your legs and capture road\u00a0<\/span>trip memories.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
