What do weavers, potters, woodcrafters, leather workers, artists, metalworkers, box makers, herb growers, cheese makers, beer brewers and pianos have in common? Well, you can find them all, and a great deal more on the Midlands Meander - South Africa's first, largest and most popular art and crafts route.
The Midlands are located between the Sunshine Coast and the Drakensberg Mountains. The area is one of immense scenic beauty, characterised by picturesque villages, waterfalls, lakes, game reserves and historical buildings. The Midlands are also reminiscent of the English Midlands, with many oak trees, grassy dales, smoking chimneys and micro-breweries.
The Midlands Meander is a unique mix of more than 160 places to eat, drink, sleep, shop, play and generally have fun. If you're a photography enthusiast then this is just the place for you with its jigsaw puzzle of streams, forests, the towering Drakensberg Mountains, quaint towns and cultivated fields. Visit some of the renowned craft workshops and dairy shops known for their cheese and milk products. Relish some rich local cheese and get a flavour of the local enterprise.
A great way to relax and appreciate the natural wonders of South Africa, this day long tour will leave you with some special memories.
