KwaZulu Natal In South Africa Attractions

by Rob Atherton

KZN is a highly populated region of South Africa. It's actually a particularly desirable sub-tropical region with fantastic panorama and popular points of interest including the terrific shores of Durban, the UKlahlamba mountain range and the important battlefields from the wars involving the British, Boers and Zulus.

The populace of KwaZulu Natal is without a doubt the most diverse in South Africa. The indigenous Zulu culture of the region is talked about for their significant warrior custom. Even now, in the phonetic alphabet, "Zulu" represents the letter "Z".

Truth be told there is a clear British influence in the province and quite a few of the people who live here have a British heritage. Aside from that, in Durban you'll also find without doubt one of the largest sized communities of Indians outside of the sub-continent. Durban is also South Africa's third biggest urban centre and is the busiest port in the African continent. The excellent climate makes Durban a preferred choice throughout the year and following the accomplishment of the FIFA World Cup, Durban will almost certainly bid to host the 2020 Olympic games.

For the people travelling to KZN, Durban is a 'must' with so much to offer the visitor such as markets, culture, seashores and the recently opened uShaka Marineworld. It is also a great base from where it is possible to check out the region. Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve is the finest place to go on safari while the Drakensberg mountain range offer you peacefulness and tranquillity in incredible surroundings.

Visitors will find Zulu lifestyle in evidence all over the province, and there are a lot of options to take in traditional Zulu villages. There are about four hundred miles of shoreline in KwaZulu Natal with the area in the north of the province being particularly unspoilt. The St Lucia Wetlands are a World Heritage Site with perfect lakes, estuaries, lagoons, forest dunes and coral reefs.

The battlefields of KwaZulu Natal are well recognised with most probably the best known location being Rorkes Drift where around 140 British soldiers fought off a prolonged attack by 4,000 Zulu warriors.

Finally, the Midlands Meander is a route for travellers to drive along stopping off at plenty of craft outlets, studios, art galleries and a great deal more established in the heart of the outstanding UKlahlamba mountain range.
