Zululand - Eshowe
Zulu kings and chiefs lived here to escape from the summer heat. The British settlers established their capital here for the same reason.
The Dlinza Forest is part of the town and it’s said that “Eshowe” is the sound of the wind sighing through the forests that surround the town. Nice thought but the name probably comes from shrubs which are prolific to the area and called “showe” or “shongwe” by the Zulus.
Attractions include "The Fort" (Zululand’s historical museum), the Vukani (woven craft) Collection, the Dlinza forest boardwalk which runs 10 metres above the ground, Mpusheni Falls, Martyr's Cross, the Norwegian mission station and Shakaland.
It was once home to the legendary John Dunn - hunter, trader, explorer, soldier, statesman, white chief of Zululand and husband to 48 Zulu wives.
