The Golden Mile
The Golden Mile skirts the main beaches of the Indian Ocean and is flanked
by luxury hotels and apartment blocks. Attractions include an amusement
centre, paddling pools, paved walkways, gardens and fountains. Be sure
to take the children to Funworld, with its bumper cars, roundabouts and
hurdy-gurdy machines. Take a ride in a cable car for a birds-eye view
of the beach front and the pools, fountains and lawns of the Ampitheatre
Gardens.
Fitzsimons Snake Park
Visit the snake park for lectures and venom-milking demonstrations. The
park is inhabited by a host of South African and exotic snake species.
The park places a strong emphasis on education and the important role
snakes play in their natural environment.
Nagle Dam
The dam is nestled at the bottom of the picturesque Valley of a Thousand
Hills. The road to the dam winds down the side of the Valley through scenic
countryside. The road is effectively a cul de sac but there is a dirt
road at the dam that will take you to Wartburg.
The Dam is being developed as a 3500ha wildlife reserve and currently
houses zebra, impala and duiker. You can go on sundowner cruises on the
dam. There are toilets, picnic and braai facilities at the dam as well
as a conference centre.
Phezulu Safari Park
Phezulu Safari Park is only 30 minutes from Durban. When you visit Phezulu
you enter into the heart of Zulu traditions. In a typical Zulu village
of beehive huts, you can experience the Zulu way of life, watch sangomas
(witchdoctors and traditional healers) and watch Zulu dancing. PheZulu
means 'high up' and the safari park is high up the hills above the Valley
of a Thousand Hills. There is also traditional lunches available for visitors.
