Kwa-Zulu Natal Accommodation Bookings South Africa For all your Kwa-Zulu Natal accommodation bookings, BookNowSA has the best options. This South Africa accommodation directory will fill you in as to the best and most affordable options in this upbeat and historic province: This verdant and green area, which forms the east coast of South Africa from Port Edward northwards to the Mozambique boundary, is aptly called South Africa's garden province. It is a province with a subtropical coastline, sweeping savannah in the east and the magnificent Drakensberg mountain range in the west. The warm Indian Ocean washing its beaches makes it one of the country's most popular holiday destinations. It is also an area of historical importance where towering figures such as Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi and Shaka Zulu rose to prominence. The visitor to KwaZulu-Natal can either disembark at Durban International Airport or the Durban harbour or make use of the extensive national road network. Durban is one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the world. It boasts the busiest harbour in South Africa which is also one of the 10 largest in the world. KwaZulu-Natal is the only province with a monarchy specifically provided for in the Constitution. Ulundi is the traditional capital of the Zulu monarchy. The province allows visitors to immerse themselves in the fascinating and turbulent history, involving confrontation between the greatest empire the world has ever known, the fabled warrior kingdom of the Zulus and the fiercely independent Boers. The legacy of the Zulu Kingdom's critical, blood-soaked conflicts today lives peacefully-reconciled in KwaZulu Natal's battlefield sites, historic towns, national monuments and museums. The capital of the province is Pietermaritzburg. Other important towns include Richards Bay, an important coal export harbour, and many coastal holiday resorts, such as Port Shepstone, Umhlanga Rocks, and Margate. In the interior, Eshowe is the centre of the sugar cane and forestry industries; Newcastle of steel production and coalmining; Estcourt of meat processing, and Ladysmith and Richmond of mixed agriculture. The subtropical coastline of KwaZulu-Natal has some of South Africa's best-protected indigenous coastal forests, for example, at Dukuduku and Kosi Bay. It is also along this coast that the magnificent St Lucia Estuary and Kosi Bay lakes are located. Separating KwaZulu-Natal from the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, the Drakensberg runs 200 km along the western boundary of the province. The northern part of the province, south of the Swaziland border, is typical African savannah providing a natural backdrop for its rich wildlife.
