Eshowe

Overlooking the Zululand coastal plain, Eshowe is surrounded by the stunning Dlinza Forest, known for its bright wildflowers and lush, diverse vegetation. Like most of the destinations in the area, Eshowe has an interesting historical heritage - in this case, connected to Norwegian missionaries, four Zulu kings, and British soldiers. It is the oldest European settlement in Zululand. Now a bustling commercial hub, the town is a popular destination offering visitors an array of attractions and activities. The undeniable highlight is the opportunity to explore Dlinza Forest via a network of scenic hiking trails including the Dlinza Forest Aerial Boardwalk, which provides a spectacular bird's eye view. Other highlights include the Zululand Brewery and the historic Adams Outpost Restaurant in the Fort Nongqayi Museum Village in Eshowe.
