A COUNTRY IN ONE PROVINCE
One of the most diverse provinces of South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal is the home of the Zulu people and a vibrant diversity of European, Asian and African cultures, religions and languages. Its capital, Durban, is host to Africa's busiest port whilst the Aliwal Shoal to the north is one of South Africa's only coral reefs with a reputation as one of the world's top ten diving spots. Warm Indian Ocean waters and beautiful beaches line her entire 350m (560km) coastline. Inland, you will find lush big-five game reserves, historic battlefields and the majestic "uKhahlamba" (Barrier of Spears) - also known as The Drakensberg (Dragon's Mountain).
