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.
