Umhlanga, the buzzing residential, commercial and resort suburb just outside of Durban, was once a seaside resort town called Umhlanga Rocks. During the early seventies it merged with La Lucia to become what it is today - Umhlanga - pronounced Umshlanga and meaning “place of reeds” in Zulu.

Umhlanga remains a highly popular seaside resort, its wide, sandy beaches lined with exclusive hotels in Umhlanga and apartment blocks, the beaches filled with umbrellas and sun worshippers, whilst locals enthusiastically walk the promenade at sundown.

Gateway Shopping Centre, one of the biggest shopping centres in the country, means that, whilst staying in Umhlanga, one has little reason to venture elsewhere. The promenade that stretches from Durban View Park all the way to Breakers and the start of the Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve, provides a wonderful way to stretch one’s legs right at the sea, past the famous Umhlanga Lighthouse, and numerous excellent restaurants pose only the dilemma of which to choose for dinner.

Mindgame Escape is the ultimate in mystery, intrigue, and adventure with a twist. It is ideal for friends, families, corporate groups and travelers wanting to experience the fun of KwaZulu-Natal.

With wave action often hampering shore-side snorkeling, the snorkeling beyond the breakers often provides better visibility and the opportunity of seeing marine creatures which prefer calmer waters.

The heart, red and bloody, pounds across the sterile table causing yours to hit hard against your chest. Your eyes sparkle with adrenalin as you make out your own silhouette in the glazed eye of the predator.

The Kingdom of Zululand has a royal gathering of hills for heirs. The Valley of 1000 Hills corrugates the grasslands of KwaZulu Natal with a thousand hills to behold and a thousand memories to bequeath.

The Gateway Shopping Centre is a retail and recreational revolution resident in the holiday town of Umhlanga.

Just a 10-minute drive from Umhlanga, Umdloti offers 5km stretch of beautiful beaches that causes visitors to flock to Umdloti Beach, but also the very likely possibility of seeing dolphins playing in the waves that attracts many to the beaches.
