Sodwana Bay to Royal Natal NP

Full day of driving today as we travel from Sodwana Bay (north of St. Lucia on the map) south along the coast towards Durban before cutting across towards the Drakensberg mountains. We’ll be spending two nights in Royal Natal and one in Golden Gate Highlands NP, hiking in the mountains during the days. Just now nearing the point on the drive where we veer west, away from the coast. A beach has been selected for one last swim in the Indian Ocean.
