The ancient battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal

 

The colossal hills and natural rock formations of KwaZulu-Natal are historic sites of Anglo battles that took place long ago. These battles shaped the future for both South Africa and England, and played a significant role in the histories of these two countries. The ancient battlefields are a worthy viewing site for travellers who wish to gain an educational experience from their KwaZulu-Natal holiday. There are many tours that take you to the very regions at which battles were fought, including neighbouring towns such as, Babanango in search of interesting bird species, Eshowe for a visual experience of some of the most beautiful wildflowers in the province or the Albert Falls Dam nature reserve.

 

The Dolphin Coast

 

The north coast of KwaZulu-Natal is renowned for sightings of bottlenose dolphins. While riding the waves of the north coast via jet skis, powerboats or your surfboard, you could catch a glimpse of friendly dolphins frolicking in the warm water of the Indian Ocean.

 

The Dolphin Coast stretches from the Tongaat River at Zimbali to Zinkwazi Beach and includes the inland water areas of Umhlali and Shakaskraal. Set against large fields of sugarcane wilderness, this coastline is one of the most beautiful coastlines in the province and offers guests a memorable experience. Don’t forget to visit the numerous coastal resorts along Dolphin Coast, such as Ballito, Salt Rock and Zinkwazi for some added entertainment.
