Durban Driving Routes

Durban (and surrounds)

Elephant Coast Route

The Elephant Coast in northern KwaZulu Natal (KZN), South Africa stretches from St Lucia in the south to Kosi Bay in the north, across to the Lubombo Mountains in the west and includes the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve. Although a relatively small area – not only is it home to the traditional Big Five, but also offers all that the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park has to offer – whales, turtles, protected reefs and pristine, protected coastline. An area world-renowned for conservation, untamed wilderness and unparalleled diversity, the huge variety of habitats and eco-systems are linked and inter-connected, creating a place where visitors are truly ‘spoilt for choice’.

uMngeni Footprint Route

The two very diverse communities of Howick and Mphophomeni in the scenic KwaZulu Natal midlands have together created a tourism route unique in the area. The uMngeni Footprint KZN Route was named as such because it is located in the uMngeni Municipality area of the KwaZulu Natal (KZN) Midlands – which is known as the ‘Gateway to the Midlands’. Attractions in the area of the uMngeni Footprint KZN Route include spectacular waterfalls, museums, community groups and projects, gardens, crafters, taxidermy and a large dam.

Nguni Route

Situated in central KwaZulu Natal, this route incorporates the towns of Dundee, Ladysmith and the area including Rorke’s Drift. It is an area of scenic landscapes, combined with historical and cultural attractions, offering as per its slogan an experience of ‘cannons, culture, crafts and cows’.
