BATTLEFIELDS
The legacy of our Zulu Kingdom's critical, blood-soaked conflicts of
Shaka Zulu: Boer v Zulu, Britian v Boer, Zulu v Britian
ZULULAND
'the Zulu experience' will linger in your mind long after you have left
this area. Take an ox wagon to Zulu villages of bee-hive huts and experience
traditional Zulu hospitality, or a rural wedding ceremony and if you
wish, visit a sangoma (traditional healer).
ELEPHANT COAST
This pristine eco-wonderland boasting 21 different ecological systems,
is in a unique situation, where it can offer the best game viewing and
fishing safaris within close proximity.
The sea, lakes and beach provide Scuba diving at Sordwana, snorkeling
at Kosi Bay, turtle tours, whale watching from St Lucia and angling
the 200 kilometers of unspoilt beach
The Game Reserves and parks are home to the big 5 with the worlds largest
concentration of Rhino
SOUTH COAST
Sub-tropical forests, blue lagoons, golden beaches, rocky coves, the
warm Indian Ocean and sunny weather make KwaZulu- Natal's south coast
a popular year-round holiday resort
Scuba diving at Aliwal Shoal and Protea Banks. Try surfing at the internationally
acclaimed surf spots or go abseiling in the Oribi Gorge.
Every winter, there is the phenomenon of the sardine run - millions
of sardines migrate up the coast, accompanied by by dolphins and other
large fish and thousands of sea birds which feed on them, and people
come from far and wide to scoop up buckets of this natural harvest.
NORTH COAST/DOLPHIN COAST
The Zulu Kingdom's north coast, also known as the Dolphin Coast, stretches
from Zimbali to the mighty Tugela River. This is the playground of the
bottlenose dolphins, which frolic in the waters close to shore and are
visible all year round. It offers luxury, beauty, sport and history.
PIETERMARITZBURG/MIDLANDS
This is the town in which the annual Dusi Canoe Marathon starts, and
is the beginning or ending point of the world- renowned annual Comrades
Marathon between Durban and Pietermaritzburg, which attracts about 15
000 participants.
The Midlands Meander, has grown into a fascinating mix of arts and
crafts, world-class restaurants and homely comforts
The magnificent Howick Falls located in this area provide picnic facilities.
UKHAHLAMBA/DRAKENSBERG
The Zulu people named it 'Ukhahlamba' or the 'Barrier of Spears'
and the Dutch Voortrekkers 'The Dragon Mountain'. The Drakensberg Mountains,
with their awe-inspiring basalt cliffs, snowcapped in winter, tower
over riverine bush, lush yellowwood forests and cascading waterfalls,
form a massive barrier separating KwaZulu-Natal from the Kingdom of
Lesotho.
DURBAN
Is a sophisticated cosmopolitan city of over three million people
- a city known as the home of Africa's best managed, busiest port.
- sparkling turquoise waves and white beaches
