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. 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 Uforests 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 UMHLANGA TOURISM Visitor’s Guide | 3 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. here are close to 300 days of sunshine a year, and the water is warm enough to swim in throughout summer and winter.

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.

  • South Africa Travel Guide 2017
    South Africa Travel Guide 2017 1 From the Editor... After a few failed attempts at collecting travel information about South Africa, I decided it would be a great idea to publish my own South Africa Travel Guide. It has taken me about 3 years to assemble this valuable publication (in between extra hours in the CLO Office and publishing JJ’s and Classifieds, and more Classi- fieds, and more JJ’s). Realistically, I thought I would lose my mind if I heard, “I will send over travel brochures ‘just now’” one more time... It has been a lot of work, but being in the CLO Office is the reason that I started this venture in the first place. My favorite part of working in the CLO Office is helping people who are searching for travel information. There is no greater reward as the Editor of the Jacaranda Journal, than to hear that one of my readers has booked a vacation or some sort of adventure because of a travel story or advice from our office. Travelling means taking a break from everyday routines and just enjoying life. I personally believe that there is so much benefit to travel, which is why I am hoping this Guide entices you to travel more. Travel gives us better perspective, it makes us more adaptable and adventurous, and it just makes people happy. We are in a unique position, living life in the Foreign Service, and one of the greatest benefits is seeing the world. We get the opportunity to see places we would never have dreamed of and even better, we get to share them sometimes with friends and family.

  • The Official Magazine of the Durban Ramblers Hiking Club Th 4 Quarter: October to December - 2019
    C/O The Chairman 14 Edgecliffe Park 14 Bartle Road GILLITS 3610 http://durbanramblers.co.za [email protected] Banking Details: Nedbank Musgrave Account No 1138655228 Branch Code 1301 2600 THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF THE DURBAN RAMBLERS HIKING CLUB TH 4 QUARTER: OCTOBER TO DECEMBER - 2019 CHAIRMAN’S RAMBLINGS Hiking is a wonderful activity, as it helps rejuvenate our body and compliments general fitness. This brings me to the controversial topic of walking /hiking with the aid of a walking stick or hiking poles. A lot of folk say it is not necessary, but at times using a walking stick makes sense. Let us look at walking sticks vs. hiking poles. Walking sticks are used individually, usually made from wood, decorated in some fashion showing its origin. Best used on flat terrain, but it is also good for support on uneven terrain, crossing water and when ascending or descending hills. The disadvantage is that one tends to overly lean to one side, which may cause a stumble or fall on terrain that is not flat. So, when using a walking stick, use it with the least amount of load on it. Hiking poles are usually designed in pairs, but can be used as a single pole. They have adjustable length and can be altered depending on the terrain. They usually have straps, but can be hazardous when falling- best not to use the straps. Hiking poles take pressure off the knees during steep descents, give extra security and grip. Because of their adjustability, for ascents length is reduced, for descents they can be lengthened.

  • SA Yearbook 05/06: Tourism
    Tourism South Africa is a tourist paradise – offering scenic beauty, diverse wildlife, a kalei- doscope of cultures and traditions, and endless opportunities to explore the out- doors through sport and adventure activities. Tourism is South Africa’s fastest-growing industry and contributes about 7,1% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2004, total international arrivals increased by 2,7%. Although European arrivals decreased by 2,4%, arrivals from North America increased by 10,4%, Central and South America by more than 12%, Australasia by 4,4%, Asia by 3,1% and other African countries by 4,2%. In the first quarter of 2005, there were 1,7 million foreign tourist arrivals – the highest in South African history, representing exceptional growth of more than 10%. At the same time, foreign tourism spending increased by more than 25% to R12,9 billion. The tourism industry employs an estimated 3% of South Africa’s workforce, and is regarded as potentially the largest provider of jobs and earner of foreign exchange. Some 27 000 new direct tourism jobs were created in 2004. The fastest-growing segment of tourism in South Africa is ecological tourism (ecotourism), which includes nature photography, birdwatching, botanical studies, snorkelling, hiking and mountaineering. Community tourism is becoming increasingly popular, with tourists wanting to experience South Africa’s rural villages and townships. (See chapter 5: Arts and cul- ture.) Another key aspect of South Africa’s tourism vision for the next three years, is the vast business tourism potential. Injecting about R20 billion annually into the economy, business tourism is estimated to sustain almost 260 000 jobs, paying an estimated R6 billion in salaries and accounting for R4 billion in taxes every year.
