South Africa Holiday - Durban
|
Description
KwaZulu-Natal is a subtropical region blessed with an appealing blend of scenery; the spectacular Drakensburg, or Dragon Mountains, inland and superb beaches on the warm Indian Ocean north and south of Durban. The region is also rich in history including many battle sites of the Boer War as well as wars between respective colonisers and indigenous African inhabitants. Guided tours to visit these sites are available from Durban. KwaZulu-Natal offers a delightful mix of cultures, population and cuisine. While Zulu forms the indigenous culture and the famous warrior tradition there is a distinct British influence with many residents being of British heritage. Durban also has one of the largest Indian populations outside the sub-continent, a result of imported contract labourers from India to work on sugar plantations in the 19th century. A great selection of African and Oriental cuisine together with the fresh seafood is available in the many restaurants. Both the north and south coasts of KwaZulu-Natal offer magnificent Blue Flag beaches and excellent resorts including Margate Main Beach, South Beach, Ramsgate Beach and Umhlanga Main Beach. Additional attractions in Durban include the Golden Mile on the city waterfront, and Ushaka Sea World, the biggest aquarium in the southern hemisphere. Away from the city the magnificent Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Park is the largest park in KwaZulu Natal while the Greater St Lucia World Heritage site is in Maputaland near the Mozambique border. This area of lakes, estuaries, lagoons, forests, dunes and coral reefs offers great walking trails, bird and game watching, fishing and diving. Inland the awesome Drakensberg or “Ukhahlamba”, the “Barrier of Spears” in Zulu provides wonderful hiking and riding trails, climbing, fishing and ballooning, in addition to its scenic beauty and health spas. A wide range of accommodation includes small luxury hotels. Historians will not want to miss the Battlefields Route in beautiful KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. Expertly guided tours are available for explanation and exploration of the 19th century sites. |
