Umhlanga Lagoon Hiking Trail

Image
This walk to the lagoon is a wonderful outing experience, not only it is not difficult and long but also a great way to get everyone out of doors. Umhlanga lagoon trail is a little slice of wilderness with wetland and a small forest. Its a sanctuary to more than 100 species of birds and small animals. Most of the trees labeled with their names because of natural curiosity occur among people, some trees are older than 500 years. They are some beautiful fascinating animals to get a glimpse of them you have to be very quiet but trust me its worth it.

KwaMuhle Museum

Image
It's Ironic that a museum documenting the fight against apartheid is the former building where apartheid laws used to be enforced. On aproching KwaMuhle museum you would immediately get struck by large copper covered emblem at the entrance door. The museum reflects Durban's urban growth and history of its residents from a large range of perspectives. KwaMuhle Museum shows what life was like in and around Durban during the apartheid era and contributions of ordinary people who laid the foundation of what Durban is today. The museum includes newspaper prints, statues, paintings, books, and pictures. Some of the pictures and newspaper articles are taken from well known South African politicians and human rights activist. I must say some Slogans, articles, and depectation are very heart touching. If you are sensitive I'm pretty sure, you would end up crying to know about all the horrible atrocities African people had to go through. I urge you to go to kwaMuhle Museum it'...

Golden Mile

Golden Mile is known globally for surfing because of its high and big waves but you could also walk around beach, cycle and explore surf museum. I know what you would be thinking. What about Sharks? Well, you are lucky in that case because the shark attacks are minimum as its protected by Shark nets and watched over by Lifeguards. The food and necessary equipment you need can be found easily because the entire place is surrounded by hotels and shops. If you don't want to get in Sea water or have some kind of fear of Sea creatures or salty water, it's fine because they are wonderful pools as well or you could just enjoy the view from the beach.                                                                 Golden Mile from Drone                       ...
