Nicknamed the ‘Golden Mile’ Durban’s beachfront teems with life and is a popular destination for sun worshippers and surfers. For trendy boutique Durban accommodation, we recommend Quarters Hotel. Slightly north of the city on Umhlanga ridge is the Endless Horizons Botique Hotel, offering great views of the north coast.
The Natal Coast hosts some of South Africa’s most popular holiday resorts and many superb golf courses, and for a challenging course with direct access to miles of secluded beach try Zimbali Lodge and Golf Course.
Stretching from Durban to Port Edward this section of the coast has many incredible scuba diving locations. The Aliwal Shoal, a rocky ridge four kilometres offshore, is rated as one of the top 10 dive spots in the world. Abundant undersea life, ancient wrecks and varied terrain keep divers coming back again and again.
OTHER KWA-ZULU NATAL ATTRACTIONS
The Kwa-Zulu Natal province is holds some of South Africa’s absolute tourism gems, and is small enough to combine multiple attractions on a self-drive of fly-in basis.
Should the battles and history that shaped South Africa interest you, visit the Battlefields of the Zulu Kingdom. Combine this with a safari or beach escapein St Lucia National Park and KZN Game Reserves. If you are a outdoor hiking purist you need to visit the spectacular Drakensberg and the Natal Midlands.
