KwaZulu-Natal (/kwɑːˌzuːluːnəˈtɑːl/; also referred to as KZN or Natal and known as "the garden province") is a province ofSouth Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulubantustan of KwaZulu ("Place of the Zulu" in Zulu) and Natal Province were merged. It is located in the southeast of the country, enjoying a long shoreline beside the Indian Ocean and sharing borders with three other provinces and the countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Its capital is Pietermaritzburg and its largest city is Durban.
During the 1830s and early 1840s, the northern part of what is now KwaZulu-Natal was occupied by the Zulu Kingdom while the southern part was, briefly, the Boer republic of Natalia before becoming, in 1843, the BritishColony of Natal. KwaZulu remained independent until 1879.
KwaZulu-Natal is designated as a geographical unit under the Wine of Origin classification of South African wine. It corresponds to the province of KwaZulu-Natal in the east of South Africa, which has an embryonic wine industry.
History
The first trials of Vitis vinifera in KwaZulu-Natal were in 1992 at Sunwich Port.
Tiny and Judy van Niekerk established the Stables Wine Estate in 2005, the first wine estate in KwaZulu-Natal, and released the first wines from the region in 2006. Judy van Niekerk was responsible for having KZN designated as a "Wine of Origin" region in 2005 after negotiations with SAWIS.
Owners and winemakers Ian and Jane Smorthwaite bought their farm Abingdon Wine Estate in 2000 and the first vines were planted in 2004. Situated at 1100m above sea level, Abingdon Estate has in excess of 2ha under vine.
Judy van Niekerk approached the KZN Government in 2007 with a proposal to fund vineyard plantings in the Tribal regions of the province, creating job opportunities in under resourced regions. This project commenced in 2009 with newer plantings of 10ha at Ballito on the KNZ north coast. These vineyards are cultivating the French-American hybrid Villard Blanc, a grape cultivar that thrives in warm, humid conditions. The first wines of this were produced in Sept 2013 under the banner of iLembe Co-operative Winery.
Snow continues to fall in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands
As snow continues to fall in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and parts of the Drakensberg, some families have braved the icy chill to experience it.

We packed up a very wet tent at Bonamanzi and headed towards the very beautiful Hluhluwe-iMfolozi!

After a long day in the car we enjoyed a relaxing evening at Mpila camp and had a very unsuspected visitor 😱

All Things to do in Durban & Kwazulu-Natal as shown in this episode:
- Durban waterfront
- Helicopter ride in Durban
- Station Drive, Durban
- Segway Tour in Durban
- Township tour in KwaMashu
- Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park
- Hilltop Camp
- Drakensberg mountains
- Sentinel, Amphitheatre and Tugela Falls
- Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge
- Cavern Resort

KwaZulu-Natal on the east coast of South Africa is highly undervalued as a tourist destination, and often overlooked in favor of destinations like the Kruger National Park and Cape Town.
Having grown up in this amazing province we may be a little biased, but through exploring it ourselves have discovered that this sunny corner of South Africa offers it all - a vibrant and diverse culture, majestic mountains, untamed big five bush experiences and possibly the most unspoiled beaches in the country. Not to forget that KwaZulu-Natal's winter weather (April-July) is the best in the country!
KwaZulu-Natal highlights:
Unspoiled sandy beaches and warm water.
Malaria-free big five game reserves.
Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites (iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park).
A vibrant and diverse blend of cultures.
World-class diving and surfing destinations.
We would love you to come and explore this magical province for yourself, and have put together a list of our top picks in the province to get those travel juices flowing!
Our dream KwaZulu-Natal road trip is a circular self-drive route covers 1600 km and takes in all of the highlights of KwaZulu-Natal including the berg, big five bush and spectacular beaches.

We packed up a very wet tent at Bonamanzi and headed towards the very beautiful Hluhluwe-iMfolozi! We loved driving slowly along the windy roads and taking in the beautiful scenery that Hluhluwe has to offer. After a long day in the car we enjoyed a relaxing evening at Mpila camp and had a very unsuspected visitor 😱

The South African Weather Service says it is investigating whether storm winds and heavy rains in various parts of KwaZulu-Natal were indeed a tornado. Many people have been left without shelter in Inanda, north of Durban after strong winds blew roofs off homes yesterday afternoon.
Disaster management teams are assessing the extent of the damage. For an update on the extent of the damage that has been caused by storm winds and heavy rains in various parts of KwaZulu-Natal, let's cross to our reporter Jayed Paulse in Inanda.

Wrapped in the warm Indian Ocean near Durban, South Africa, we vacationed at the Cabana Beach Resort in Umhlanga Rocks, KwaZulu-Natal - everything from our hotel room view, to the helpfulness of the staff and cleanliness during covid-19 made for an incredibly memorable stay, the perfect place for a staycation during Summer in South Africa 2021!

As snow continues to fall in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and parts of the Drakensberg, some families have braved the icy chill to experience it.

Several families in KwaZulu-Natal have braced for the icy cold temperatures to experience snowfall in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. The SA Weather Service earlier warned residents and businesses in the Midlands to expect disruptive snowfall. Motorists have been cautioned to be extra vigilant with some roads closed due to heavy snowfall.
For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
In this video I show you the best things to do in Durban & Kwazulu-Natal including the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and a 3 day hike in the Drakensberg mountains.

My friend Marco and me went down to Durban to explore the things to do in Durban and some more sights in Kwazulu-Natal. As usual I tried to mix sightseeing in South Africa with some cool activities, such as the big rush, a multi day trek in the Drakensberg mountains or a Segway tour in Durban.
For doing all this we rented a car and drive through the region for about 10 days with activities booked a few weeks ahead.
You can use this guide to prepare and plan your own trip to this region, therefore I included all Spots and companies we used along the way.
All Things to do in Durban & Kwazulu-Natal as shown in this episode:
- Durban waterfront
- Helicopter ride in Durban
- Station Drive, Durban
- Segway Tour in Durban
- Township tour in KwaMashu
- Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park
- Hilltop Camp
- Drakensberg mountains
- Sentinel, Amphitheatre and Tugela Falls
- Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge
- Cavern Resort

We spent an incredible 11 days traveling around one of the 9 provinces here in South Africa. This is KwaZulu Natal. KwaZulu-Natal is well known for it's beaches, the African bush, mountains and culture. This is the trailer preceding 10 vlogs from our time in the province. Please share and like these videos to help create awareness about the beauty in our country and to help boost our struggling tourism sector.
Much love - Rhett and Claire

KwaZulu-Natal on the east coast of South Africa is highly undervalued as a tourist destination, and often overlooked in favor of destinations like the Kruger National Park and Cape Town.
Having grown up in this amazing province we may be a little biased, but through exploring it ourselves have discovered that this sunny corner of South Africa offers it all - a vibrant and diverse culture, majestic mountains, untamed big five bush experiences and possibly the most unspoiled beaches in the country. Not to forget that KwaZulu-Natal's winter weather (April-July) is the best in the country!
KwaZulu-Natal highlights:
Unspoiled sandy beaches and warm water.
Malaria-free big five game reserves.
Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites (iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park).
A vibrant and diverse blend of cultures.
World-class diving and surfing destinations.
We would love you to come and explore this magical province for yourself, and have put together a list of our top picks in the province to get those travel juices flowing!
Our dream KwaZulu-Natal road trip is a circular self-drive route covers 1600 km and takes in all of the highlights of KwaZulu-Natal including the berg, big five bush and spectacular beaches.

We packed up a very wet tent at Bonamanzi and headed towards the very beautiful Hluhluwe-iMfolozi! We loved driving slowly along the windy roads and taking in the beautiful scenery that Hluhluwe has to offer. After a long day in the car we enjoyed a relaxing evening at Mpila camp and had a very unsuspected visitor 😱

The South African Weather Service says it is investigating whether storm winds and heavy rains in various parts of KwaZulu-Natal were indeed a tornado. Many people have been left without shelter in Inanda, north of Durban after strong winds blew roofs off homes yesterday afternoon.
Disaster management teams are assessing the extent of the damage. For an update on the extent of the damage that has been caused by storm winds and heavy rains in various parts of KwaZulu-Natal, let's cross to our reporter Jayed Paulse in Inanda.

Sunny South Africa, a truly vibrant & luminous place to be during the summertime! In this video we give you a taste of what it is like to be immersed in one of Africa’s most Southern Coastal cities. Wrapped in the warm Indian Ocean near Durban, South Africa, we vacationed at the Cabana Beach Resort in Umhlanga Rocks, KwaZulu-Natal - everything from our hotel room view, to the helpfulness of the staff and cleanliness during covid-19 made for an incredibly memorable stay, the perfect place for a staycation during Summer in South Africa 2021!

We loved our stay at Mkuze, but we cannot wait for Bonamazi. The bird life is incredible and we ticked off so many new birds. On day 1 at Bonamazi the first 3 birds we saw were lifers 🙌🏼 We also set up camp, show you around and then go for a little night drive.

KwaZulu-Natal (/kwɑːˌzuːluːnəˈtɑːl/; also referred to as KZN or Natal and known as "the garden province") is a province ofSouth Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulubantustan of KwaZulu ("Place of the Zulu" in Zulu) and Natal Province were merged.
