There is always so much to ‘Sea and Do’ on the KZN South Coast, from national sporting events to live music and shopping.
Visitors to the Paradise of the Zulu Kingdom should diarise these upcoming dates and take the opportunity to explore the region’s incredible natural beauty.
“The winter months on the KZN South Coast are truly some of our best, with the milder weather and sunny skies ideal for family-friendly outdoor adventures,” said Phelisa Mangcu, CEO of Ugu South Coast Tourism (USCT).
“The annual Sardine Run, which is a global phenomenon, is a must-see spectacle along the KZN South Coast at this time of year. Visitors get front-row seats to this ocean show which attracts whales, dolphins, sharks, birds and more. Beyond this, there are a number of sports and entertainment events for visitors to enjoy.”
