The famous Midlands Meander in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is a unique mix of more than 160 places to eat, drink, sleep, shop, play and generally have fun.
Started many years ago as a voluntary collection of crafters, who wondered if they could attract visitors to leave the beaten track and explore their studios and galleries.
The Midlands Meander has grown into an eclectic and fascinating mix of arts and crafts, world-class restaurants and homely comforts, with a wide range of sporting, environmental and historical pursuits thrown in too. |

Physical, culinary or cerebral, there is no limit to the experiences you'll find here.
The many facets of the Midlands Meander are so varied that there is little chance of boredom. Each route through this lovely land offers new mysteries to explore, new places to discover.
From the silvery vastness of the waters of the Midmar Dam to tiny crystal streams, from the imposing bulk of the Drakensberg mountains to the green of the indigenous forests, from quiet country towns to patchwork fields, where cattle graze or bales of hay are bundled in white plastic covers like huge cheeses, this is a land of many faces, all beautiful.
And the seasons change the features of the Midlands throughout the year, so there are many more faces to the places that keep calling you back for more.
Cool mists melt away to reveal shimmering midday sun; thunderstorms crackle over the berg and then bluster away into soft summer showers that refresh thick pastures.
Golden and burgundy leaves dazzle in autumn and settle into thick toffee-coloured drifts that rustle at your feet.
And in winter, the icy chill of a true winter experience unlike any African season comes calling, often blanketing the distant hills with white, and occasionally throwing a silky snow cover over the fields and valleys too.
