"It's a shame, given this is a winter wedding, that the minister wouldn't let Paul and Linda have the pantomime theme wedding they originally wanted. Looking at Paul, I think ‘Puss in Boots’ would have been very appropriate."

KwaZulu-Natal, a province in South Africa, is home to some of the most wondrous natural sites in the world. Its mountainous interior is a hiker's dream while flatlands and coastal areas are prime for those who love water sports. If you are planning a trip to that area of the world and are up for spending some quality time with Mother Nature, it helps to know where the best camp sites in the area are.

1. Mahai Campsite at Royal Natal National Park

   • The Mahai Campsite, located at the Royal Natal National Park in Natal Drakensberg, is an ideal location for people who want to simply pack up their tents and take a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The campsite offers amenities like hot showers and the option of sites that have electricity as well as sites that do not, so those who want to truly escape all the comforts of civilization are not tempted.

     In addition to the campsite, Royal Natal National Park offers campers the chance to explore the many hiking trails, springs and rivers in the park.

   Midmar Dam

   • Midmar Dam is a great place to consider camping if you are a lover of water sports. In addition to the prime opportunity to unload the jet skis and speed boats, Midmar Dam is also surrounded by acres of hiking trails, bike trails, fishing holes and picnic areas where families who simply want to relax under the sun can do just that.

     If you don't own a boat but still want to enjoy a day on the lake, you are not out of luck. There is a boat shop on Midmar Dam where campers can rent boats during weekends.

   St. Lucia Estuary

   • The St. Lucia Estuary is one of the biggest tourist points in the KZN region and has several camping and conservation areas, one of which is the St. Lucia Game Reserve that was first established in 1895. Estuary campsites include the Sugarloaf, Santa Lucia and Eden Park sites. The Eden Park site is of special interest as it is small and secluded from the rest of the site, sitting in the middle of a small forest with a 2.5-mile hiking trail surrounding the camp site.
