3 days in Pietermaritzburg Itinerary

Pietermaritzburg is the capital and second-largest city in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Venture out of the city with trips to Karkloof Canopy Tour (in Howick) and Piggly Wiggly Country Village (in Nottingham Road). There's much more to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at African Bird of Prey Sanctuary, take in the dramatic scenery at Howick Falls, explore and take pictures at Nelson Mandela Capture Site, and get a taste of life in the country at Tala Private Game Reserve.
