How to get to Umhlanga
The greater Umhlanga area extends from the mangove forest at the mouth of the
Umgeni River in the south, to the mouth of the Tongaat River in the north. This
gorgeous stretch of coastline is KwaZulu-Natal’s most exclusive playground, with
postcard-perfect beaches, high-end shopping, vibrant nightlife and fine dining.

Two airports service the Umhlanga area. The world-class King Shaka International Airport is just
12 kilometres from Umhlanga and offers direct international as well as domestic flights to all of
South Africa’s major cities, making Umhlanga the perfect stepping stone to the rest of southern
Africa. The airport was named the ‘Best Regional Airport in Africa’ at the Skytrax World Airline
Awards 2010/2011.
Just south of Umhlanga in Durban North, Virginia Airport serves light and private aircraft, and
is home to a number of aircraft and helicopter charter services.

Welcome to Umhlanga!
A message from the Chairman of Umhlanga Tourism, Peter Rose
Umhlanga’s fascinating history plays an integral part in one’s appreciation of
the wonderful province of KwaZulu-Natal. The Umhlanga area is a great tourist
destination with a sub-tropical climate, year-round warm waters and golden
sands that stretch for many kilometres in each direction.
U
mhlanga, which lies just 15km north of Durban, was initially inhabited by the San
people as there was a generous supply of fresh water flowing through the adjacent
forests into the Umhlanga lagoon. In later years, it was inhabited by the Zulu people
who lived off the abundance of fish in the sea and wild game in the area.
In 1869, the first beach cottage in Umhlanga, the Oyster Lodge, was built. Approximately
80 years later in 1947, it was replaced by Umhlanga’s most prominent hotel, the Oyster Box.
Umhlanga Rocks became a village in 1931 and the famous red and white lighthouse was
constructed in 1954. The lighthouse was erected to warn ships about the dangers of the rocks
along the coastal areas of Umhlanga.
There are large numbers of marine, wildlife and bird species in Umhlanga. These can be
found in the local nature reserves, lagoon, sea and forests. There are guided walks for visitors
and tourists.
Over the years, Umhlanga has become the most sought after holiday and business destination
in South Africa. It boasts some of the most exclusive hotels, self-catering apartments, sophisticated
guesthouses and a world-class beachfront promenade that spans the entire length of this resort paradise.
Fine dining, beautiful shopping malls and many fabulous suburbs are all part of the Umhlanga scene.
I extend a warm welcome to the weary travellers who visit this wonderful region, and invite them
to unwind and enjoy the paradise known simply as ‘Umhlanga’.
Hamba kahle (Go well),
Peter Rose,
Chairman, Umhlanga Tourism
Sunshine,
Beaches & Ocean
Umhlanga Rocks is perched on the edge of the Indian Ocean,
and its beaches offer excellent swimming and surfing within
walking distance of the Umhlanga village centre.
T
here are close to 300 days of sunshine a year, and the water
is warm enough to swim in throughout summer and winter.
Umhlanga Main Beach and the neighbouring Bronze Beach to
the north are protected by shark nets and stationed by well-trained
professional lifeguards. The 2.7km O’Connor Promenade was
recently upgraded, and runs from Durban View Park to Umhlanga
Lagoon Nature Reserve. The promenade is a favourite for walkers
and runners, and is dotted with restaurants, takeaways, ablution
facilities and ice cream sellers. The boat launch site at Granny’s
Pool allows visitors to get out onto the water to fish or dolphin and
whale watch.
To the north, the seaside village of Umdloti is set against green
hills and lush vegetation. It has some of the best beaches in the
area, with a rock-enclosed tidal pool and a wide lagoon. There is
excellent fishing off the rocks and safe swimming.
Further along the coast are Westbrook and Tongaat. These
beaches are quiet and offer great swimming and surfing, as well as
a launching area for boats.
The O’Connor Promenade is a favourite with walkers and runners.
Fishing off Umhlanga has its rewards.
There are close to 300 days
of sunshine a year, and the
water is warm enough to swim in

presentation on the work it does and the importance of sharks in
the marine ecosystem. You can also experience a 20-minute shark
dissection, where you can learn about – and smell – the internal
machinery of the ocean’s fiercest predator. The KZNSB services
shark nets, which provide protection against shark attacks at 38
localities.
The presentation and shark dissection is offered at 9am and
2pm Tuesdays to Thursdays and at 1pm on the first Sunday of each
month.
There are a few good dive spots right off Umhlanga, and the
best diving conditions are to be found in the winter months. The
T-Barge, Lighthouse Reef, the Trawler of Fontao and Dolphin Reef
attract everything from moray eels to tropical fish. One of the best
snorkelling spots in the area is at the northern end of Umdloti’s
Beach Road. A line of rocks encloses an enormous tidal pool, home
to large cowries, crayfish and a variety of tropical fish.
Learn all about sharks
The KZN Sharks Board (KZNSB) in Umhlanga has a display hall
with life-size replicas of sharks, fish and rays, and offers a 25-minute

Dolphin and whale watching
The waters off Umhlanga are rich with sea life, particularly whales
and dolphins. Pods of bottlenose dolphins can be seen breaching
the water just beyond the breakers and surfing in the waves yearround, and from July to November each year, humpbacked whales
and southern right whales can be seen all along the coast.
A number of operators offer boat trips every day (weather
dependant) launching from Granny’s Pool, at Umhlanga’s main
beach, to seek out these beautiful marine mammals.
Enjoy Umhlanga’s
natural Heritage
Despite Umhlanga’s growth boom in the last twenty years,
it’s still home to some pristine natural areas. The O’Connor
Promenade ends where the Umhlanga Lagoon Nature
Reserve Trail begins.
T
here is a well-marked path that winds through pretty coastal
forest on boardwalks that cross the Ohlange River on its
way to the lagoon, buttressed by dunes. Benches and picnic
spots are dotted throughout, and you can follow the trail to reach
the beach and the lagoon, and the remains of a Stone Age seashell
midden can also be found to the north of the lagoon.
The adjacent Hawaan Forest Reserve is inland of Umhlanga
Lagoon Nature Reserve. This indigenous woodland has remained
in its natural state for centuries, and is characterised by important
species of trees with tropical attributes, and many small animals.
Entry is restricted, so phone ahead to book a guided walk.
Contact: 031 566 4018
Hazelmere Dam and Resort, a few kilometres inland from
Verulam, is a favourite watersport destination. There are also picnic
spots, and game such as zebra and wildebeest can be seen. Dudley
Pringle Dam north of Umdloti is another dam with prolific birdlife.

Nature Reserve and makes for a pretty walk.
Mangroves Nature Reserve is a 76-hectare reserve with the
largest population of mangrove trees in the Durban area. A raised
boardwalk through the mangroves gives visitors the opportunity
to spot many rare bird species and the lopsided fiddler crabs that
call the mangroves home. The reserve is only open to the public on
Saturdays and Sundays from 08h00 until sunset.

Gateway into Africa
Umhlanga Rocks is the perfect stepping stone to the rest of southern
Africa, connected to all the major destinations by road and air. It is
a short drive to two World Heritage sites: the majestic mountains of
the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park in the west and the iSimangaliso
Wetland Park in the north.
Wonderful birding spectacle
In mid-October every year, millions of Barn Swallows arrive in
KwaZulu-Natal from Europe, before flying back in mid-April. Every
evening just before sunset, the swallows fly in from all directions
and gather together into a giant, swirling flock over the Lake Victoria
Wetlands at Mount Moreland Village near Umdloti. As the sun sets,
the entire flock drops almost as one into the reed bed to roost for the
night. There is an elevated viewing site over the reed beds, which is
accessible to visitors every day. To get to the viewing site, take the
Umdloti/Verulam exit from the N2 north and turn left towards the
town of Verulam. After about 1km, turn right onto a dirt road and
follow the signs for about 4km to Mount Moreland village.
For more information, call Hillary Vickers on 031 568 1671 or visit
www.barnswallow.co.za.
Non-stop sport & adventure
Umhlanga visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to top
notch sporting facilities and adventure activities.
S
ea kayaking is a rapidly growing sport, and anglers often fish
off paddle skis where they catch dorado and barracuda. The
best shore angling spots are off the rocks at Umdloti and La
Mercy.
If you like exploring trails at speed, mountain biking, dirt biking
and quad biking are all offered, from tours to day excursions to
outrides. If you fancy a flip through the air, microlighting and
helicopter flights are offered from Virginia Airport.
The annual Tour Durban cycle race is growing in popularity,
offering mountain bike and road bike races of varying distances
through the Durban and Umhlanga areas.
A pleasant round of golf at Mount Edgecombe Country Club.
Hire a chartered boat for an exciting boat trip.
Swing away
Golfers are spoilt for choice with 11 courses all within a 35km radius
of Umhlanga. Mount Edgecombe, just inland of Umhlanga, offers
two championship golf courses designed to USPGA specifications.
Both courses are challenging but fair, and provide a very agreeable
round of golf. South of Umhlanga is the 5 883-metre Durban
Country Club Beachwood Golf Course, one of the area’s most
beautiful courses with its undulating fairways lined by tropical
bush. To the northwest, both Zimbali Country Club and Prince’s
Grant offer challenging courses.
The Umhlanga area
has some powerful
waves, and the best
surf spots are at
Umhlanga Main
Beach, Umdloti and
Westbrook.

Trail runners flock to Umhlanga to take on the challenging but beautiful running routes.
Trail running
Every December, Easter and July, trail runners flock to Umhlanga to
attack the area’s trails, which include challenging river crossings, hills,
bush, beach and off-road tracks that weave through sugarcane fields.
Visit www.umhlangatourism.co.za or call 031 561 4257 for more
information.
Hit the waves
The Umhlanga area has some powerful waves, and the best surf
spots are at Umhlanga Main Beach, Umdloti and Westbrook. The
waves at Umdloti and Umhlanga are classic beach breaks that work
on any size swell from two to six foot. Westbrook is a fickle right
hander that breaks along a shelf of rocks. All these spots work on
light offshore winds, and conditions are best in winter (between
April and August), especially in the early morning when the land
breeze blows. There are loads of surf shops in the area where you
can buy all the gear and find out about lessons for beginners. When
the surf’s not great, the Wave House at Gateway has standing waves
suitable for newbies and advanced surfers.
Durban’s iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium
A visit to the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, just 15 minutes south
of Umhlanga, is a must-do. This incredible facility was a key stadium
during the 2010 Soccer World Cup and hosted a semi-final. Visitors can
take the SkyCar to a viewing platform on the top of the iconic arch 106
metres above the pitch for a 360º degree view. For the brave visitor, the
Big Swing is the largest swing of any kind in the world. Jump into the
void and swing out in a huge 220-metre arc under the arch.
Extravagant shopping
experience
From pavement sellers and local crafts to boutique
shopping and malls where everything is on offer, Umhlanga
is a shopping Mecca.
Gateway Theatre of Shopping is the biggest mall in the southern
hemisphere, and over two million people visit it every month,
thanks to a wide range of shops, restaurants for every taste and fun
activities, such as a skatepark, funfair and cinemas.
La Lucia Mall is a lovely suburban mall with a relaxed
atmosphere and big brand stores.
An array of local arts and crafts is available from shops, markets
and pavement sellers in the area. Zulu crafters are especially adept
in beadwork, weaving, clay pots and wooden animal carvings.
Many local crafts recycle used materials, such as plastic bags, oil
tins and beer cans, turning waste into art.
