South Africa In-depth: KwaZulu-Natal
Bordered on one side by the sparkling ocean waters of the Indian Ocean and including the lush UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park and iSimangaliso Wetlands Park, KwaZulu-Natal provides visitors with experiences that will last a lifetime.
The ‘Zulu Kingdom’ is steeped in tradition with not just Stone Age cave paintings but also by people who are proudly celebrating and upholding Zulu traditions joyously. The fascinating battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal provide an insight into the history of this area.
There is a wealth to see and do in KwaZulu-Natal from the cultural melting pot of Durban which is a feast for the senses to amazing safari and wildlife experiences – both on land and in the water.
With its sub-tropical coastline, KwaZulu-Natal hosts spectacular beaches with some of the world’s best surfing as well as dolphin, turtle, whale and shark experiences.

WHAT'S SURFING LIKE in SOUTH AFRICA? • REAL TRAVEL VLOG
What's surfing like in South Africa?
In this episode of my real travel vlog I have a surf lesson with Rosta from Mantis & Moon Backpackers in Umzumbe, South Africa.
This is part of a 5-video series presenting the activities available for you at Mantis & Moon, Umzumbe.
If you've ever wondered what surfing is like in South Africa, this is a great place to start and improve your skills.
It was the perfect day to head out with Roosta. At Umzumbe beach they have smaller waves at the shore and then big guys out back, great to learn on.
Roosta gave me a classic, sleeveless wetsuit and told me his secrets to surfing so I was ready to try my luck. I've never been that good at surfing so it was a bonus to stand up for me!
We had an awesome day, Roosta was the perfect teacher and made sure I didn't get wiped out... Too much!
I really enjoyed my stay at Mantis & Moon, you should definitely visit them, it's one of the best backpackers I've ever been to!

I’m riding for a charity called Orphan Opportunities and will visit orphanages where I can throughout my route. I met the man who started the charity in Mozambique and fell in love with the passion of his own mission. It makes complete sense to me: while there are many misfortunate people in Africa who could do with some assistance, they’re often not doing much to help their own situation, relying instead on the goodwill of others, whereas children without parents have been dealt a bad hand and can’t help themselves. I’ve always said, the youth are not 100% of the population, but they are 100% of the future. If we want to help the future of Africa and the world, we need to properly raise the youth.

Thanks for watching!
Lotsa love,

E.p 11 kzn south coast
Here is all the info about The South Coast.
South Coast. of KwaZulu Natal is a popular ‘endless summer for all’ strip of coastland that trails down from the holiday mecca of Amanzimtoti, the beach playground just outside of Durban, all the way to Port Edward.
The South Coast is a collection of golden beaches, lagoons, rocky coves, grassy slopes, warm Indian Ocean waters, perpetually sunny weather, sub-tropical forests, and vegetation that draws the crowds, particularly during the festive season.
The South Coast, which includes the Hibiscus Coast, named such for the perpetual Hibiscus trees in evidence along the coast, is also strewn with numerous nature reserves, hiking trails, snorkelling and diving locations, and some excellent golf courses, including two of the country’s top ten.
Often compared to the state of Florida in the US, the South Coast is strewn with river inlets that cut inland from the coast, and provide wonderful birdlife as well as opportunities to paddle upstream along estuaries and lagoons. Aliwal Shoal (near Umkomaas) is a diving destination of note, while Protea Banks, but a little way further south, is deemed one of the world’s top shark dives.
