UMDLOTI: Although Umdloti is the perfect spot
to simply relax and lazily enjoy the sunshine, beaches, rock pools and sea, there are a
variety of activities for the more energetic. The inshore reefs provide ample excitement
for anglers, (surf, rock and ski boat), divers and water sport enthusiasts. Water sports
include surfing, windsurfing, paddle and jet ski-ing or swimming with the dolphins. (Daily
trips available.) Umdloti's main beaches are shark netted and protected by professional
lifeguards. Known as the Dolphin Coast because of the many pods of these fascinating
mammals that patrol these waters, some frolicking in the waves, some surfing the waves,
others performing acrobatics for sheer pleasure.
Less than 20 minutes drive from Umdloti is South Africa's busiest harbour city, Durban.
Durban boasts international conference centres, 5 star hotels and restaurants, unlimited
night life and modern infrastructure to cater to your every need. Numerous historical
buildings and places of interest are to be found in this beautiful holiday mecca.
For the wildlife enthusiasts: In close proximity there is Sea World, Umgeni River Bird
Park, Crocodile Creek, Crocodile World and Snake Parks. There are Game Reserves a little
further afield. To the North you can step back in time and explore the Zulu culture and
lifestyle in the land ruled by Zulu King Chaka. Chaka's Kraal and Chaka's Rock being just
two of the fascinating places you can visit.
You will find a host of sports and other pastimes within easy reach of this retreat, from
top class Golf Courses to parasailing, kite skiing, horse riding. For those whose tastes
run to quieter pursuits, you will find just as many activities to choose from. |
