E: 31/07 Win a beach, bush and mountain safari in South Africa

Southern Africa Direct in association with About U travel and Three Cities Group are offering you 5 nights accommodation for two and the chance to explore three magical places in South Africa.

Explore South Africa's eastern seaboard and experience balmy Durban, then tuck in for the night at Three Cities Riverside Hotel to the sounds of the Indian Ocean lapping at your doorstep. Get close to nature in Ubizane's Zululand Tree Lodge. You will be accommodated in a luxurious stilted chalet set in the cool, whispering tranquillity of a fever tree forest in the heart of Zululand. This getaway is famous for Rhino spotting, and is adjacent to the world renowned Hluhluwe and Umfolozi Game Reserve.

Then head for the mountains and take in the Anglo-Zulu battlefields along the way, overnighting at Alpine Heath. Set in the heart of the majestic Northern Drakensberg, the resort is widely regarded as one of South Africa's premier destinations offering breathtaking views of the Drakensberg Mountains.

Finally back to the bush, this time to the Kruger Park where you will enjoy a True 'Out of Africa' experience at the 1930's themed Hamiltons Tented Camp, where tents come complete with teak floorboards, mosquito nets, slipper baths, and outdoor showers which are linked to the main lodge overlooking the Nwatsitsonto River. Guests are assigned personal butlers, rangers and trackers.
