The marine life is spectacular in the tropical waters, so providing a fantastic experience for deep sea diving and snorkelling, particularly the stretch between Sodwana and Kosi Bay. The mountains and wetlands of surrounding KwaZulu Natal provide opportunities for hiking, mountaineering and bird watching. The province has short but rich history. It is the place to visit the sites of the Zulu-Boer conflict, the Anglo-Boer Wars and the Anglo-Zulu War. For the tourism industry, the province is divided into 5 regions: South Coast, Dolphin Coast, Midlands, Drakensberg and Zululand. |

| Kwa Zulu Natal. This Province has come into its own right increasingly over recent years and now featured as the Zulu Kingdom. For many years it has been known as the Garden Province for good reason. KwaZulu - the place of the Zulu in the north and Natal- named by Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese explorer of the 16th Century when he passed the shores of this coast on Christmas day en-route to India. This beautiful Indian Ocean coastline of some 370 km, has a hot, humid tropical climate. The topography rapidly rises up inland to the spectacular Drakensberg mountain range within three hours drive from the coast to cooler temperatures. The golden sandy beaches are world standard and the forests and mountains are breathtaking. In the north of the province in historic Zululand there are mountains, game reserves and the unique sand forests and lakes of Maputaland, which are a unique experience not to be missed. The coastline north and south of Durban also boasts beautiful beaches and forests. If you can tear yourself away from the warm water, you may visit the Oribi Gorge or take time for a steam train ride on the Banana Express. |
