| Area activities | Mtunzini is home to the Umlalazi Nature Reserve, where hiking, birding, canoeing and picnicking are just some of the many activities on offer. The beach dunes and lagoon create a magnificent natural playground. If you're eager to get near the water, there are many different boat trips available. Fishing and waterskiing are also popular. For the sporting enthusiast, Mtunzini Country Club offers a 9-hole golf course (18 tees) as well as squash and tennis courts. The town also has a very active bowling club. Other local activities include horse riding, microlight flights, barge excursions, surfing, mountain biking, 4x4 trails, many walking trails, jet skiing, pottery and cultural tours. The Riverbend Crocodile Farm is a great place to visit. Mtunzini also has a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. Mtunzini is an hour away from the Hlululuwe/Umfolozi Park. Half an hour further north is the St Lucia Wetland Park, a World Heritage site, where the scuba diving is breathtaking. Eshowe, close inland, offers an aerial boardwalk, high up in the forest canopy, a must for the avid bird watcher. A visit to Fort Nongquai in Eshowe and Shakaland Zulu cultural village is also well worth the time. On your way back to Mtunzini take a quick detour to Ongoye forest, with its rare bird species. An hour's drive south towards Durban you will find Gateway shopping Centre where children can enjoy the skateboard park and wavehouse, or give the climbing wall a try. There are many restaurants in the shopping centre, as well as Adventure Golf and Tenpin Bowling to keep the whole family occupied. |
